Starting in the 2009-2010 school year, I am working on a K-4 "School Within a School" team with a big focus on Science. To cover everything, I will be developing a reading curriculum based around Science as well. Our first theme will be Weather!

Below are some books I plan to use for whole class reading/vocabulary/etc. Sorry, I have not developed any materials YET... hopefully soon!

Good read-alouds on this subject:

Website visitors can help our classroom by purchasing items from my Amazon Wishlist or making a PayPal donation - all donations and ad revenue received on this site are spent on classroom books and other materials.

Parents - you can also help our classroom by purchasing books for your child from Scholastic book orders. Many books are $2 or less! Every order placed earns bonus points which I use to purchase books and other classroom materials. Every monthly order totaling $20 or more earns us a coupon for $10 in free books for our classroom. If you order online, I get an additional free book pick, which I will use to select a book for your child!

Click the link below to place an order! Username and password are both "maiolo." FGCU students, feel free to order as well! This is a very inexpensive way to get books for your future classroom!

THANKS! Questions? Comments? Feel free to email me.
