[LM_NET] new ideas for students finding books on shelves

[Carol Van Brocklin <carolannvan@MOTIMAIL.COM>]

Good afternoon all:
      I'm sure you are all relieved that the election is 
almost over. We are feeling it even overseas!
      Anyway--I have a new 6th grade teacher who has 
decided that her students really need to figure out how to 
find books in the library. Since I had this class while 
they were in elementary--I know that they have indeed been 
taught it at several points in time but they are insisting 
that they still can't do their ABC's and 123's and find 
books on the library shelf.
      Does anyone have any new and creative ways to help 
students with this?
      I have done several kinds of scavenger hunts, relay 
races, etc. and it just doesn't seem to be working. If 
anyone has a tried and true method that will really help 
students attain this skill, I would love to hear about it.

Thanks as usual to all!
