Even though Katie's dad works at a bank, she prefers to keep her money in her piggy bank. But what happens when she drops her piggy and it breaks?

Busy elementary librarians need help applying the new AASL Standards Framework, especially in collaboration with social studies teachers seeking to apply the social studies standards framework. This book shows a path forward for both. This book will be a tremendous help to the busy elementary school librarian who is working with busy elementary social studies teachers. As they are designing and co-teaching library-based lessons based on the Social Studies Standards Framework, the English Literacy Common Core Standards, and the new American Association of School Librarians (AASL) Standards Learners Framework, these reproducible lessons will enhance planning and implementation. You'll get ready-to-use lessons as well as model lessons to adapt to the needs of your own curriculum and students. All standards are applied—with needed handouts—and other tools and current lists of recommended resources are provided. Lessons are coordinated to common elementary social studies curricula at indicated grade levels but can be adapted as template lessons as needed. Current resource lists aid librarians in collection development to support new and current standards.

A variety of stimulating, curriculum-correlated activities help learners succeed in the 2nd grade math classroom, and teacher support makes it easy to implement mathematics standards. Valuable pre- and post-assessments aid teachers in individualizing instruction, diagnosing the areas where students are struggling, and measuring achievement.

This book is a detailed story of all my experiences, good and bad, and the adventures that I lived between 1985 and 1988, which was the longest period of time that I lived away from my family. At the same time, it is a detailed description on the struggles to get to the USA. This book is more of an example that doing things right and staying in school pays off.Also, I hope that migrant students or perhaps any student in middle school, high school and even in college learn that nothing beats going to school and getting a degree.
