Dewey's 300's and Waynetta & the Cornstalk

Who knew that there was more to the 300's than holidays and fairy tales? Well, now the kids at Fox Hollow know and they are excited about it! We looked at examples from each 10's group in the 300's and they have been flying off of the shelves. Most specifically 393 Death Customs, 350's military science and warfare books, 391 Costume and Personal Appearance, and the 395 books on Etiquette.


To keep with the theme, I have been telling the students Jack and the Beanstalk and then teaching them what a Fractured Fairy Tale is and then reading Waynetta and the Cornstalk. It may be my awful "Texan" accent or the idea of golden cowpats, but they prefer Waynetta to Jack! We've had a lot of fun with the 300's this week!
