[LM_NET] ELEM: new social stuides curriculum

[Danielle Blaise <DBlaise@HEWITTSCHOOL.ORG>]

Hello all,
 
Our 3rd grad SS curricullum is changing next year.  They will be studying early 
humans and the fertile crescent - Mesopotamia (they might be doing one more 
civilization but we haven't heard yet).I was wondering if anyone had suggestions 
for non-fiction on 2-5 grade reading levels.  
 
Also, the teachers are hoping to make literature connections with picture and 
chapter books.  Are there any picture or chapter books that take place in the time 
of early humans and the ancient fertile crescent civilizations (all I can think of 
is the Gilgamesh picture book series).
 
thanks!
