I asked for suggestions about buying a set of atlases for my grades 2-5 library skills classes and general reference. A few of you asked for a HIT but there wasn't much "popping" with this topic. Here's what Audrey, Sarah and Judy had to offer. +++A while back I bought a class set of paperback atlases from Scholastic, and used +them to teach atlas skills. I'm wondering (if you investigate the publisher for +them now), would they still be available? +++I have a set of 25 World Almanac atlases that I use with 3-5 graders. I like how they are organized and the amount of information that is provided for each continent. STudents love using them and its easy to create games that hold students interest. +++I haven't used them on this level, but you may consider a regular road atlas. They don't cost much. They support map skills. Personally I think any place I study about (culture, history, etc.) seems much more real once I've seen a road map of it. .-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+ Marcia Dressel, K-5 Librarian @ the Elementary and Intermediate Schools Osceola, WI dressel@osceola.k12.wi.us <mailto:dressel@osceola.k12.wi.us> .-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+-.-+ -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
