Louis Giglio, pastor at Passion City Church, has just published a devotional about science and God for kids. Check out the book here on Amazon. Click here to watch a book trailer.

I offer the fourth graders the opportunity to purchase Scholastic Books throughout the year. I use the bonus points from their orders to select books for the Science Lab and for classroom libraries. This month, I chose the books below and a magnetic fishing game for our PreK program. If your classroom doesn’t order Scholastic books and you would like to have that opportunity too, please let me know and I will send an order form home with your child.

“A great way to encourage girls’ interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields is by sharing stories starring girls and women who love science and technology!” Go to this site to find 25 books starring science-loving girls. Click here.

When I plan science units for each grade level, I use a multi-disciplinary approach. Science is integrated with the other subject areas, includng art, music, social studies, reading, writing, technology, and math. Kindergarten and Pre-First classes have been studying Antarctica. After reading Tacky the penguin stories, the children had a Tacky Day and dressed like characters from the story. Tacky is a penguin that doesn’t follow the crowd!

Excited to have some new books for our Science Lab from the Book Fair!  Thanks!

I love sharing new resources with my blog family. While browsing Barnes and Noble, I recently saw this series of non-fiction books. There is a large selection of books available in the series and they can be purchased for your Kindle. This series is recommended for children ages four through eight years old.
