Children's Literature!

Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type byDoreen Cronin, Betsy Lewin (Illustrator)

Building a library is one of the most fun parts of starting a new school year, welcoming a new child, or revising an existing curriculum. One of the best ways to draw children into social studies topics is through the use of children's literature, too. Students can learn to empathize with others, build understanding of history, and learn glocal (global and local!) citizenship skills through quality literature. Here are some of my favorite lists of quality literature that you can use at home or at school with your elementary-aged children.Click on the bolded titles below to access dozens of great books!
