Get kids (yes, even middle schoolers) reading about math, science, and social studies!

Hi everyone-

I thought I'd share this great list of children's literature, both fictional and informational text, with you. It was compiled by one of my former graduate students, school librarian Michelle Levy in Michigan, and posted to the LM-NET school library email list today.

Want to know more about how your school librarian can (and maybe *should*) support your teaching? Get in touch!
