Re: re HIT: 398.2

Hi Joni:

I was very happy to see your response about the use of 398.2 books.  I have needed  
from
time to time to tell well-intentioned teachers (they didn't want kids to mess up my
shelves), that it was ok for little ones to browse any shelf in the media center.

Like you, I think the solution is to let any child at any grade level, explore any 
part
of the media center they find exciting.  Dade County public schools curriculum, 
clearly
states, even for the lower grades, that students have to learn to distinguish 
between
finction and nonfiction, so I use nonfiction books in my lessons from kindergarten 
on.
