Another month, another Lincoln Story League (our local youth services idea swap)…<\/p>\n
I shared with my colleagues a Book Care mini-lesson using No, David!<\/em> by David Shannon. I’ve done this activity for class visits to the public library for younger kids (kindergarten\/first grade).<\/p>\n During a discussion on how to take care of books, and after a fun reading of the No, David!<\/em> book (available as a big book!), the kids and I sort objects that will and will not help David take care of books.<\/p>\n I have two boxes: a box labeled “YES!” and a box labeled “NO!”. I also have a bag with book-helping and book-hurting objects inside (crayon, bookmark, plastic bag, scissors, candy\/food, umbrella, marker, library card, etc.). I take out the objects one by one, and the kids say “Yes, David” or “No, David” depending on if the object helps take care of books (example: bookmark = YES, scissors = NO) and I put the object in the corresponding box.<\/p>\n The kids have a blast with this mini-lesson\/game! (I got this great idea from one of my former library instructors, former school librarian Janie Schomberg… thanks, Janie!)<\/p>\n I also like to pair this book\/activity with another book, The Incredible Book Eating Boy <\/em>by Oliver Jeffers. (And, I mention that eating books is probably not a good way to take care of books, haha!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another month, another Lincoln Story League (our local youth services idea swap)… I shared with my colleagues a Book Care mini-lesson using No, David! by David Shannon.
