Did you know that the BCD library subscribes to nearly a dozen colorful and interesting magazines? Neither did the Third Grade. Today in library, we spent time exploring 6 of the favorite magazines here in the library. After a brief introduction to each magazine, where students learned the content and organization, 6 magazines were displayed in stations around the room: Odyssey, Dig, Cobblestone, Sports Illustrated Kids, Faces and Kids Discover. At each station were 3-5 different issues of the particular magazines. Students rotated among the stations, spending 3 minutes browsing at each one. At the end, the group gathered together; each student brought his/her favorite issue to share. Many students enjoyed a magazine for the first time and asked to bring them back to the classroom for further exploration.
We concluded with book browsing and checkout. Please be sure to check your home shelves for missing, overdue and lonely BCD library books. Happy Reading!
