Collaborative Bridges: Home Sweet Earth

The Collaborative Bridges series offers the flexibility of mixing and matching lessons and activities to address a variety of elementary curriculum objectives and student learning styles.
Each unit begins with a lesson in the library, extends with several bridge activities for use by either the librarian or teacher, and culminates with a lesson for the classroom. The arching series of lessons partners the media specialist and teacher for enhanced collaboration, or provides the librarian with a variety of curriculum-based lessons to use alone.
The lessons are correlated to national standards, and all patterns, reproducibles, and answer keys are included.
Six literature-based, cross-curricular units: Rocks and Soil; Natural Resources; Water Everywhere; Habitats and Biomes; Weather; and Night Sky.
