New Picture Book Section!

 The NEW picture book section is complete!!  I'm very excited to present our new organization system for picture books.  I hope that it will make picture books more accessible to students and helpful for teachers and community members.  Picture books are already circulating more than before!! The picture books are now organized based on topic rather than author's last name.   The topics have been grouped together based on similar topics with a color code.  So a book's call number will include the color bin it will be found in to help narrow your search in the stacks.  An example is P Purple Funny.   The P stands for Picture Book.  The Purple stands for the color label/bin.  Funny is the specific bin to look in. There are colorful labels on the shelves to help direct you to the right spot!  The reason behind this new organization is mainly to help young learners.  Kids don't care who wrote their favorite books, they care what it is about.  There are many kids who ask

Second graders at RES are in the middle of a unit on picture books that have won the Caldecott medal for best illustration. One of the requirements for a Caldecott book is that the illustrations must add meaning to the text. The scholars have been sharing Caldecott books, first with the text alone and then with both the text and illustrations.They have been asking the question, "What do the illustrations add to the text?" and discussing their observations with partners. Sharing with partners about what the illustrations add to the text Here are some of the Caldecott medal-winning books they have shared. Ask yourself: What do the illustrations add to the text?
