ELEM: Rehired! and third grade end of year game

[tunafish <tunas3@BCN.NET>]

Greetings! First of all I got my job back, as did almost 90 of my peers,
by a tax raise.  It was a long three weeks to be in someones political
envelope pushing... Whew, and thanks for all your concerns!
 I have a fun game we played in library today with third grade.  I made
a cube out of foamcore board - about 5 x 5 x 5inches
-I glue gun the edges and run a colored strong tape over the seams.
Then, with thick marker, I label each side E, FIC, BIO, REF, 398.2,
811.  We all sit in a circle on the floor.  I name someone and I roll
the cube to them - then, whichever side lands up, I devise a quizzy
question about it (for the 811 and 398.2 it can either be about the
subject headings or about Dewey or Non- Fiction, for the others it can
be either location, or card catalog, or call label, or title author
etc)  The kids loved it, I got to see whether they've learned anything
and it gave my reading voice a big rest.  Enjoy it!
