The 3rd - 5th graders had a lesson last week on reference materials. We talked about 6 different types of reference materials, what each is used for and how they are organized. I showed them some of the reference books we have here in the library and also briefly explored online options they can use for research. The library page on the Walker website has a research link where the kids can check out some of the sites we visited during the presentation. This was a review for some of the kids but I think it was a subject that was worth revisiting.
K-2 heard either The Mitten by Jan Brett or A Stranger in The Woods by Carl R. Sams II & Jean Stoick or, in some cases, both. These were great stories with common themes including winter, animals and mittens. They are also both visually amazing books for different reasons and in different styles. The kids did a great job participating and looking for clues about what was coming up in the pictures. Ask your child who the stranger was and/or what happened to Nikki's mitten.
