    I'm interested in subscribing to a website that offers questions for each chapter of trade books for elementary teachers. Can anyone recommend any sites?

    I just read this book and loved it! I'd like to use it with my RSP middle school students in the fall. Does anyone have additional resources they used to help make the book comprehensible? Anticipation guide? Non-fiction article that explains the Dust Bowl? Anything would be appreciated.

I am DET...See More

For example, I will begin this year with a "new kid" theme. I've chosen: Hey, New Kid, Anastasia Again, The Kid in the Red JAcket, Knights of the Lunch Table, and Al Capone Does My Shirts. I have ...See More

    The required reading for my incoming 5th graders is Thunder from the Sea by Joan Hiatt Harlow. Since this is a new book this year, I purchased it, and will read it shortly. Does anyone have a literature unit on this book? I found a couple things online from Scholastic, but nothing "meaty." I'm looking for something like a quiz or working with the v...See More
    It's about a 12 y/o girl and her autistic brother. I have only read the first half, but I am really enjoying it. I am thinking of ordering it for my fifth graders.
