DESCRIPTION:
Erin T McGill said I love the activities in this book to help me incorporate. I love the activities in this book to help me incorporate science into my daily morning meetings. I have the other books for Math and ELA in morning meetings and find them all extremely helpful. As with all Responsive Classroom books, they are super easy reads and the activities are easily implemented! This is a must have for all educators who do Morning Meetings!. "Book for school to purchase" according to Kathy Price. I thought overall this book was great but didn't realize it was set for K-6. I teach only first so I ended up tearing the book apart and sharing with other teachers in my school. Since I was only interested in first grade section, I was sort of disappointed. Perhaps this would be a book for a school to purchase for the school library and all teachers to utilize.. Five Stars Great book to get students going in the morning. Love it, would love another one with more topics!

Whether you are a science expert, science aficionado, or new to teaching science, this book is a keeper. --Linda Biondi, Teacher, Pond Road Middle School, Robbinsville, NJ
