I am a 1st year 7th grade science teacher in a high-poverty inner-city school in St. Louis. <br /><br />I am a strong supporter of content-area reading, and believe that my students can get a much deeper understanding of the content through reading than they can from textbooks and lectures. This list is an awesome resource for me as I attempt to build an informative, interesting, and inexpensive classroom library.dat Cajun womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05326025026065805927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-76012118505215799762010-11-22T14:58:41.739-05:002010-11-22T14:58:41.739-05:00I'm a little late on this one, sorry.

But for my books, I might recommend See How They Run: Campaign Dreams, Election Schemes, and the Race to the White House and the Ultimate Field Trip series. I also like Team Moon by Catherine Thimmesh and Tony Robinson's The Worst Children's Jobs in History is really fun.Susan E.

That's why I follow this blog where some of our favorite authors write about their own and other's books.<br /><br />It's a great list and yet so incomplete as any such list must be.Ruth in NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526764423847426223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-90265871160056858262010-11-19T17:14:17.109-05:002010-11-19T17:14:17.109-05:00I'm also honored to have one of my books on th...I'm also honored to have one of my books on this list, Tonya. I recommend adding "When Fish Got Feet, Sharks Got Teeth, and Bugs Began to Swarm: A Cartoon Prehistory of Life Long Before Dinosaurs," a lively look at evolution by Hannah Bonner (2007). Here's an excerpt about the development of jaws in fish: "Jaws turned out to be a most versatile tool. They allowed fish to say good-bye to a monotonous diet of teensy stuff. Now fish could grab, slice, and dice to their heart's content. They could even eat one another, and they did so with great gusto."Marfe Ferguson Delanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586102699193346265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-38697146589789517402010-11-19T14:01:24.989-05:002010-11-19T14:01:24.989-05:00All Great suggestions.
