Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss is a good fiction book for that. I also have a recipe for making Oobleck. Mine used glue and cornstarch but I can't find it http://education.jlab.org/beamsactivity/6thgrade/oobleck/index.html http://www.learnnc.org/lp/pages/3457 http://www.lessonplanspage.com/ScienceLAMakingAnOobleck1.htm There are more ideas on the internet.

Her last conference was IRA in Atlanta. During ALA Annual in Anaheim I informed many friends about her condition. At that time there was no confirmed diagnosis. Following is the latest information from her family. As you know Coleen and I have been friends, colleagues, and neighbors for over 30 years.not to mention she also taught me in college. From her family: Dear All: We have finally gotten a diagnosis for Mom's condition, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD). Unfortunately, I am sorry and saddened to report that there is no cure or treatment for CJD and it is a terminal illness. I am sure most of you have never heard of CJD and all you need to do is Google it and you will have more information than you will care to read. Two sites that have good information are http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/cjd/cjd.htm and http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/cjd/ . It appears that Mom is reaching the end stages of the disease. Last Sunday, she was rushed to the hospital and spent 3 days in ICU fighting an infection. Being the fighter that she is, she beat the infection and all of her vitals are much stronger. Our main goal was to get her back home to St James since she absolutely abhors hospitals. In conjunction with Mom's wishes, and based upon the prognosis from the Neurologists and the ICU doctors, we (the 3 children) have decided that we will not return her to the hospital under any circumstance. Instead, we are working with Hospice care to make her as comfortable as possible. Fact is, as of right now, she appears to be very comfortable and in no acute pain or distress. She remains non-responsive and appears to be a deep sleep most of the time. If anyone wishes to stop by and visit Mom, feel free. Although you do not have to, if you want to call me or George to check her condition before going by, that is fine too. My cell is 504 615 2543 and George's is 504 481 6218. Mom has received hundreds of cards and letter (and flowers) from so many of you and we cannot thank you enough for each and everyone of them. We have read every word of every one of those to her. Feel free to send more and we will continue to read them to her. There is no "Crystal Ball" and there is no way for us to know how long she will hang in there. Although she is comfortable, she has no quality of life and certainly no "Coleen Salley Life" which we are all so familiar with. To say Mom has had a full life would be a monumental understatement. She has made more friends than most people can ever imagine, and touched and inspired thousands more. Obviously Mom did not deserve this fate (no one does) and it is sad that it has happened to her. It is a little ironic that a disease that literally strikes only one in 1,000,000 struck someone who is one in 1,000,000, actually 10,000,000. I am sorry that I have to bring everyone this news. However, I know each and every one of you have fond and fun filled memories of your times with Mom and I know you will recall those as you think of her at this time. I will let everyone know what develops with Mom. In the meantime, feel free to call me or George (or Genevieve 503 774 8811) if you like. As always, I request that you please pass this email on to anyone and everyone you know that is a "Fan of Coleen." I try to update the recipient list but I know I probably have missed some people and I want everyone to be advised of these developments. Hail to the Queen!!!

I have found some Dewey ppts but they just jump right in and I want the students to get a brief introduction to this subject....any suggestions would be helpful. As always, LM_NET is the best!!! :-) =20 I received a lot of great information!! :-) =20 Here are some of the responses.... =20 I like to use the library music CD from Upstart that has the song "Thank You, Melvil Dewey". I also use the other Dewey Decimal song on that track and then teach the kids the "dance" of using body parts to help remember the locations of the various subjects in Dewey (also complements of Upstart) =20 Kathy Willhite =20 Kathy Willhite, Librarian Kalamazoo Country Day School Portage, MI 49002 kwillhite@kalamazoocountryday.org (269)329-0116x204 =20 Dear Lori, =20 I found this ppt at the beginning of the school year and have used it for grades 2-5. The kids really like how it compares organizing the books to organizing your dresser drawers. Then I followed up the next week by pulling a few books from each section (100's, 200's etc.) Each student held a book and we lined everyone up in order by call numbers. That seemed to make it more concrete to them. =20 =20 [PPT]=20 Get to know the Dewey Decimal Classification system <http://www.oclc.org/dewey/resources/tutorial/kids_tutorial_0606.ppt>=20 File Format: Microsoft Powerpoint - View as HTML <http://74.125.45.104/search?q=3Dcache:T4wc4OGtifAJ:www.oclc.org/dewey/r e= s ources/tutorial/kids_tutorial_0606.ppt+Dewey+Decimal+System+powerpoint&h l=3Den&ct=3Dclnk&cd=3D4&gl=3Dus>=20 A brief PowerPoint slide show to help you understand how the Dewey Decimal Classification system works in your library =20 Hope that helps! =20 Suz =20 This site has some great visuals, especially Dewey and the Alien which uses student drawings to tell the story of the ten categories. I use it every year with third and fourth grades. =20 =20 http://library.thinkquest.org/5002/index.shtml <http://library.thinkquest.org/5002/index.shtml>=20 Mary Tichey-Staack, LMS Branchville Elementary Ridgefield, CT mticheystaack@ridgefield.org =20 =20 Hi Lori =20 =20 I like the story of Dewey coming up with his system while talking with an alien found on the following site. Hope that this is what you are looking for. =20 http://library.thinkquest.org/5002/Alien/300.htm =20 Chantal Bennett Teacher-librarian Jules Quesnel Vancouver, BC Canada bennett2144@shaw.ca =20 =20 I have always liked "Do we really know Dewey?" http://library.thinkquest.org/5002/ <http://library.thinkquest.org/5002/>=20 =20 I had found another site but it won't connect now.

It is goofy, but the students love it! http://www.mediaincorporated.com/Sharp_Wits/Dewey_Decimal/dewey_decimal. html Margaret Adams Elementary SLMS Spencer & Hilton Brighton, MI wsuslms@yahoo.com =20 =20 Check out: http://library.thinkquest.org/5002/ <http://library.thinkquest.org/5002/> =20 Good intro to Dewey.=20 er=20 =20 Evelyn W.

I attached a copy of the sheet I use for the bookmarks. =20 =20 Virginia Shaddix Crutchfield Woodland Elementary School Semora, North Carolina crutchfield at person . k12 . nc . us =20 Lori, Here are some great Dewey websites and activities.

Good Luck =20 Joan Dreier Media Specialist Deerwood Elementary Joan.dreier@district196.org =20 =20 Hi Lori, Here's one that I developed for some of out volunteers at a public library. It certainly not the best ppt, and may not be applicable to for elementary students, but you're welcome to use any part of it you want. http://www.slideshare.net/remnil/the-dewey-decimal-system-more-than-just -a-bunch-of-numbers/ Cheers! Buzzy Nielsen =20 Hi Lori, It's not a powerpoint, but I have used this webquest with success:=20 http://www.barnstable.k12.ma.us/mme/news/studentinvestigations/WebQuests /dewey/studentpages/sintro.html =20 It gives some background on Dewey himself, call numbers and nonfiction, and then moves in to talk more specifically about each section of the DD system. I usually do it with the class, so I don't use the links part in adventure two (I don't know if any are broken), but with older students I imagine you could. I just like it because the internet part, the puzzel and the earning of "food" keeps their interest more than some of the other lessons I have tried. =20 =20 Melissa Chrusch Elementary Librarian Dallas School District, Dallas PA mchrusch@dallassd.com =20 =20 Thanks again everyone!!! =20 =20 Lori Gibson Media Specialist Gibbs Magnet Elementary Lori.gibson@lrsd.org =20 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
