Since their return and a resumption of their nightly bike ride, they are astounded to find that there are few children outside no matter time of day or weather.....so sad!Sal's Fiction Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07617706508462340930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-68776799552213055492012-04-20T09:08:41.324-04:002012-04-20T09:08:41.324-04:00Mary Lee,

The first field trip I took my class on every school year was a walk in the woods. My students were excited about all the different things we'd see--including salamanders under rotting logs, lichens growing on rocks, insect galls, glacial erratics.Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-83127646955654340252012-04-19T19:06:25.874-04:002012-04-19T19:06:25.874-04:00I too was immediately struck by the cover of Meado...I too was immediately struck by the cover of Meadowlands and your summary, looks beautiful and informative! The other two books look like great ones to share with my soon to be 7 year old dreamer of a son who loves mucking about!

I have Lynne Cherry's books, have used them as mentor texts for students reporting & wanting to give information in a creative way. The energy book looks interesting, too, Mary Lee.
