Non-Fiction Book: Scholastic Atlas of Weather
Created and produced by: QA International
Pages: 80
Interest/Grade Level: 2nd - 5th
If you have a student your classroom that LOVES weather, this is the book for them! Each page is packed with information of a new topic, the topics range from anything weather including: snow, winds, rain, fire, clouds, weather technology, jobs in weather, atmosphere and more. The vivid color illustrations allow students to see how weather works. The accurate illustrations show movement patterns, scaled models of things that are normally too large or too small to see. Student's will find the facts and figures that each page offers interesting. The explanations of these processes are kid friendly but still very accurate and scientific.
This book would fit great in a fourth grade curriculum. It beats any science book, teachers can take this book page by page to supplement any new weather concept. It can not only be used in a science classroom but could be used in a social studies classroom when talking about geography. The glossary and index make it easy for teachers to quickly refer students to a certain topic. The book also includes a neat measurement conversion chart.
Welcome!
Thank you for visiting my blog! I have provided some information about extreme weather and natural disasters. I have also provided some neat information about books for children. Weather, in Wisconsin, is usually studied in fourth grade. I have always been interested in weather and I know that many children, whether they are afraid of storms or absolutely love them, they are always interested in learning about the natural occurrences. The books, movie, and links I have provided below are exciting and educational, they will surely capture the interest of young readers. There is a variety of styles including informative, graphic novels, realistic fiction and some awesome books with great photos. As a teacher it is my goal to provide material that children will be interested in that also relates to the curriculum.
