I have been doing the Dewey Diner (Chez Dewey) activity with my fourth graders. I had a shortened period this week where I would not have time to do the full dining experience. I entered the class and told the students we wouldn't be doing Dewey Diner, and they all groaned. I have never had that response about a missed Dewey lesson before! So I told them sometimes, when my family is really busy we don't have time for a full sit down dinner. The kids caught on immediately and yelled out fast food. One girl even yelled out McDewey (which is what I had already named it). I made bookmark sized menus with McDewey on the top and the 10 classes with a brief description. Students paired up and could order 2 items from the menu. Since at fast food places you bus your own tables, the customer had to reshelve the books before it was their turn to be the McDewey clerk. It filled the time I had available perfectly, the kids loved it, and they had practice shelving non-fiction books.
