National Geographic has monthly "magazines". There is one written for students
in 3-5 and another one that is similar but at a lower level. They have

What exactly are teachers doing for their guided practice? This is the piece

I don't know if this is "we do," but sometimes I have students work
with a partner or a small group before they work individually.
Sometimes I use the document camera and have students suggest ideas
that I write down for everyone to see.
Are either of those (both of those?) examples of we do

Sundance Publishers have two different sets called "The Real Deal". They are
my kids' FAVORITE nonfiction books. They range between 3rd-5th grade reading
levels and are about a variety of nonfiction topics, one including how
things smell. They are full of nonfiction features and have super

my students, both boys and girls, love them!

Perhaps Cris Tovani could help but I'm hoping you can too.
I need to get my hands on a list of books (or online resource) designed to
