📚 Learning the Dewey Decimal System at Your Local Library (Recent Posts)
On the first Tuesday of every month we post a homeschool introduction to one of the major Dewey Decimal classes that you and your students can explore at your local public library. Add your name to our free River Houses mailing list to follow along with us and get these and other great homeschooling posts delivered right to your mailbox every week! 😊
❡ Planning ahead: If you’d like to map out a custom year-long Dewey Decimal project for your own homeschool, here’s the first-Tuesday schedule we follow: Introducing Dewey (September); The General 000s (October); The Philosophical 100s (November); The Religious 200s (December); The Social 300s (January); The Linguistic 400s (February); The Scientific 500s (March); The Technological 600s (April); The Artistic 700s (May); The Literary 800s (June); The Historical 900s (July); and On Beyond Dewey (August). This schedule also appears on our main River Houses calendar for the year — print out your own copy, post it on your family bulletin board, and follow along with us. 🗓
