New Signs in the Library

Last spring, 5th graders created new signage for our library! First they were assigned a certain Dewey section of nonfiction. Their task was to find out what types of books are in that section by looking on the shelves. After taking notes on that, they used Wordle to create word clouds for the section. I showed them that in Wordle, words will show up bigger if typed multiple times. So for the headings and important words, they typed them many times, and for less important words, they typed them in less. I think they turned out great. Here are some samples.
