| 700s - Art & Recreation Bulletin Board |
 |
| Shelf Markers for Elementry Students |
This year I have
some wonderful grade 6 students who are helping me in the library. They are creative and full of new ideas. Most often I have them work on a project that
has some type of artistic aspect. I am a believer in building leadership and
independent thinking through allowing the students to come up with the majority
of the ideas for their projects with minimal guidance. When I asked the
students to do a bulletin board display all I told them was that they needed to
use a book called Bob the Alien Learnsabout the Dewey Decimal System as a started point and choose one of the ten main classes of the Dewey Decimal System as the theme. They were allowed to design it away way they
wanted.

| Recycled Packing Material soon to be a Christmas Tree |
Today when I asked
them to break up some boxes and throw out some packing materials they asked if
they could use it for their Christmas display instead. Of course I agreed and
they made a wonderful Christmas tree.
Unfortunately, they were not able to finish it and when they were unable
to return at lunch to complete it I had to pick it up off the floor and it feel apart. I expect, though, next Tuesday we are going
to have a wonderful Christmas tree in the library window just in time for the
beginning of December.
Seeing the
creativity and youth of these students is just one of the reasons why I love my
job at ICSB!
