Science Mentor Texts Linky

books, science Monday, April 22, 2013
Saw this super fun linky over at Collaboration Cuties and just had to join in! We are starting our Animals unit in science this week, and I wanted to share one of my favorite animal books:
Here a quick review: This was a toss up between another one of Ruth Heller's books, Chickens Aren't the Only Ones. What I love about Ruth Heller's books is that she writes in a way that captivates children. Her writing has a catchy rhythm and rhyme. It is easy for kids to understand, but also uses science terms (like oviparous). My one word is "funformational." Yep, I made that word up :) This book is fun for kids AND informational! Win Win!

What are some of your favorite books you use to teach science? Or animal life cycles... since I'm teaching that for the next three weeks :) Head on over and link up! Posted by Angela Nerby at 10:11 PM
