Have you noticed the book displays near the Library\u2019s Food for Thought Caf\u00e9 or in the Curriculum Collection area on the 2nd floor? These aren\u2019t just catchy-looking collections of colorful items. These displays are projects designed by students in Elementary Math Methods and Children\u2019s Literature classes, through which students demonstrate their ability to integrate content area teaching with children\u2019s fiction and non-fiction. This academic year, some students have taken on the challenge of creating counter-top displays that invite the viewer to browse the various books and items, including everything from hand puppets to felt-board clocks to jellybeans. (Yes, jellybeans. We hadn\u2019t intended on creating edible displays, but creativity prevails.) If you haven\u2019t paid attention to the displays featuring children\u2019s books and media lately, stop and take a gander next time you visit Andersen!<\/p>\n\n
