What a wonderful project! Thank you for sharing!
What a great learning experience! I also think that this teaches students a great deal about what librarians do. Thank you for writing about this and sharing your experience.
What a great way for the kids to take ownership of the collection!
This is fabulous! You inspire me.
Did this group meet as a club? This sounds like such a great idea and the learning is happening on so many levels!
We have “Interest Groups” that meet for an hour and a half a week for 3-4 weeks per session, so I offered this as an option for students interested. Other Interest Groups include cooking, crafting, dodgeball, nature walks, and more. I was pleased that I actually had two different groups of students for the two groups that I led, and then when it was time to unbox and process the books, I just asked anyone who was in either group to come in during lunch recess to help if they wanted.
I think you could definitely do this as a club, which is what David Barrow does, but we just don’t have that kind of time in our schedule. Do what works for you!
