In Pre-K this week, I read
If You Plant a Seed by Kadir Nelson. This book is one of our Texas 2x2
list nominees and was a perfect complement for what they were doing in the
classroom.
Grades K-2 are just
getting started on doing an animal research project, so I showed them how to
access our Library Resource page online and to select a variety of
encyclopedias from our Research Tools page.
I demonstrated the various features of PebbleGo Animals, National
Geographic for Kids and World Book to assist them with their research. We also discussed the importance of citing
your source and how to do that when using an online resource.
In grades 3-5, I also
showed them the Research Tools tab and how to access the Proquest SIRS
Discoverer database. I explained how
journal, newspaper and magazine articles in a database can be more reliable,
relevant and accessible than using a search engine.
