Searching for a New Source

I recently became aware of a vendor called The Learning Connection whose address is 1901 Longleaf Blvd, Suite 300, Lake Wales FL, 33859. Its phone number is (800) 218-8489. Web address is www.TLConnection.com. The shipping is free which is important to teachers who get an appropriation from the school district to spend on teaching supplies. They do not want to waste it. They want to utilize the money for supplies and not shipping.

This company deals in thematic literacy in all fields of learning. Of interest to me, as a social studies teacher were the libraries on issues related to social studies. These were: civil rights, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, the Native Americans, the Civil War and the Westward Expansion. These books have received the following awards: Newberry Medal, ALA Notable Award, and the NCSS Social Studies Award. The series on Dr. King also received the Coretta Scott King Award too. This award winning series could be used for differentiates instruction and are included with a guide. Each book series ranges from $79 to $119. This series could be used for extension of units and cross curriculum learning because they meet the core curriculum standards in literature and social studies.
