Customer Reviews

A great book!

This book for K-6 has a huge amount of graphics for everything from book reports, math, science, social studies and writing to great activities for all of these as well as great art projects. I am a writing teacher so I was particularly interested in the writing activities and graphics organizers. They are awesome! For example, there is one writing activity I found to be really interesting. It is an autobiography recipe. Students write about their personality in the form of a recipe. Very cute idea. I think the ideas can and will be exciting for my writing students. I also teach social studies. There are some great ideas for that subject as well. Everything in the book is great.

Great Resource!

I bought this book last year while working on a unit plan for my student teaching. I really needed some creative new ideas for teaching literature and I found some really awesome activities! Although this book is recommended for grades k-6, most of the activities are easily adaptable up to grade 8 or higher. I taught two of these lessons with eighth graders last year and they loved them! It is by far the best teacher resource book I own-- and I have many.

helpful

I found it very helpful and will enjoy it for years to come.

A Very Useful Book!!

I got this book out of the library, thinking that it would be yet another book of mostly useless forms, overdone tips and assorted badly-done artwork...but, happily, I was wrong! There are nearly three hundred pages of open-ended worksheets, writing ideas, report guides and forms, science experiments, art projects, all with suggested grade levels and very nice drawings. This book would be useful for many different people - from classroom teachers to homeschooling families to parents who want to help their kids write more creatively. I can't wait until my copy arrives!
