In honor of Grandparents and Special Friends Day this week, First Grade students heard a story about a somewhat unconventional family in the book The Goblin and the Empty Chair by Mem Fox.
This book is a touching reminder that love is blind, and “family” can include whoever we hold dear in our hearts. It was a great way to start our discussion about all the books about holiday and culture that can be found in the 300s (Society and Culture) section. But the big question: why in the world did Mr. Dewey put fairy tales in the 300s with books about culture? The answer will be revealed next week!
