Beyond Dr. Seuss – Last year my second graders and I spent reading week exploring the different regions of the US! I chose five books from the different regions of the US. My kids and I colored in the regions on a map and did activities for each book! Click here for the FREE resource I used to create the maps!
This year we are celebrating the week after most schools because we have our school biomes celebrations this week! I plan to Read Across the USA again this year with my third graders – using different books because I looped with some of my students.
Here are a few books that I recommend!! Clicking on the images will take you to Amazon. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
