REVIEW:
Here's your students' chance to "Do the Dewey" and learn how to use the library. The site was a winner in the 1999 ThinkQuest Junior competition and offers a fun way to learn about the history and use of the Dewey Decimal System. The young authors have done an excellent job of turning learning into an adventure! The site is broken up into several sections that are suitable for use as an ongoing unit and include printable quizzes and puzzles that support the lessons. Your students should soon be able to adopt the site's motto: "Do we? Dewey? Boy, Do we!!"
