I did my lesson plan for second grade on ABC order to second and third letter. When I collaborated with my media specialist she said that this was a problem with all the grades in locating books in the library. She had them line up in ABC order and it was a fiasco. She said as she teaches the lesson 7 times (our rotation for special area classes) she made adjustments. She started to line them up in chunks of the alphabet: A to E, F to K, L to Q, and R to Z. This went better. I would make this adjustment in my lesson as well. Her concern with the upper grades was that they could not use Dewey to locate a book. I would adapt this lesson for upper grades for that need.

I will be teaching this lesson with my second grade class when we go to the library next week. They also have to do a simple research paper later in the year. I want them to be able to locate books by authors' names. This is a skill I saw as a need when I taught reading for third-fifth grades. I'll let you know in the Reflection what other needs I'll need to do and include pictures of their finished products. Joyce
