TieDyeDude You could drive 6-8 hours to the Mesa on the Western slope. The Aspens are beautiful when they change, but it doesn't last long 7mo

TheBookgeekFrau @TieDyeDude I wish we had that kind of time 😄 We don't have to go too far for some good foliage, but none of it is out my kitchen window like it used to be 7mo

Eggs But really nice snow-covered mountains 🏔️ 👏🏻 7mo

TheBookgeekFrau @Eggs Yes. And as soon as all the cottonwood leaves fall, I'll be able to see it from my kitchen window 😍 7mo

Florida (a True Book: My United States) (Library) | Tamra B Orr

pick

This NF read is a great research tool for students to learn more about their state. Allowing kids to independently read this can cause curiosity to arise about other states as well. UDL 8.1: this book can benefit in projects for students by supplying information and pictures clearly. ESOL #4 can be used, since the students have prior knowledge about Florida. The students can write about something they didn‘t know. #ucflae3414su19

Macker11 I couldn‘t find a resource directly related to this book but I did find this interactive workbook that would be fun for students to fill out! https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Florida-People-Economy-Government-In... it might be a great idea to have each student do a different state and then the workbook can be added to the classroom library! 5y

rretzler Welcome to Litsy!📖 5y

DawnS I kind of want to read this and see if I learn anything new about our state. Also, I like the idea you shared about having everyone in the class do a different state, sounds like it would tie in social studies too! 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Welcome to Litsy!! 5y

DrSpalding Interactive notebooks are an excellent idea! You could truly do a lot with this type of nonfiction. In fourth grade, social studies standards center around Florida! 5y

The Heublein Tower, Avon

TricksyTails You live in a beautiful place! ♥️ 6y

julesG That looks interesting, a bit German. 6y

umbrellagirl @julesG Gilbert Heublein was an American of German descent so he might have been inspired by German architecture. 6y

Purple Mountain Majesties: The Story of Katharine Lee Bates and America the Beautiful | Barbara Younger, Stacey Schuett

pick

This NF read almost gives the vibe of Fantasy when looking at the illustrations but it provides factual information about Katherine Lee Bates and "America the Beautiful" in a nice narrative tone.

Here is a great resource from the author for using it in the classroom:
