Re: [LM_NET] What interesting thing do you keep at the circulation desk?

[Judy Brown <jbrown@CALDWELL.K12.OH.US>]

I have a tangram calendar at the high school circ desk. Originally I  
purchased one from those calendar displays in malls at Christmas as a  
gift for my father to keep his mind sharp.  When he passed I brought  
the calendar to school. It's become an addiction for some students and  
the first thing they touch when coming into the library.  A few even  
make special stops to see what the day's puzzle is.

The same 7 puzzle pieces are used to fill in a different design for  
each day.  The kids are sometimes stumped and are certain there's NO  
WAY it can be done. Then another student gets involved and they  
usually manage to figure it out.  I try to undo the solution between  
classes, but there are a few determined kids who guard it until the  
bell rings to insure I don't "mess it up."
