Reflection:
I like this books because it is a science book for the younger grades. It covers a lot about earth and the land that students will learn when the get older but puts it into words they will understand. The colorful pictures also help the students to point out things they have seen around them and recognize structures on planet earth.
This blog is great. The organization and flow makes it really easy to follow along with. Your book selection is awesome, and has some of my favorites in it.
