Just before Fall Break and with the help of Ms. Clarke, Mrs. Gordon and Mrs. Christensen I took all of the fiction books off of the shelves and re-organized them into genres. This was a huge job... way bigger than I anticipated. We are done and we now have several section in our fiction...
Historical Fiction
Mystery
Fantasy
Science Fiction
Ghost Stories/Paranormal
Classics
Black America
Native America
Holocoust
Books about Girls
Books about Boys
Graphic Novels
Plus the series section with books like Bone, Babymouse, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid
With this new system I will quickly be able to help students find books when their teachers send them in with a specific genre in mind.
