Math 

 Sometimes learning to count can be hard for children, engaging them in fun books to help is a great idea. These two books I used to learn how to count when I was a kid and both were engaging and fun. The Very Hungry Caterpillar teaches counting while incorporating colorful pictures that engage the reader. Chicka Chicka 1 2 3 also teaches counting in a fun way and has fun pictures and jokes to keep the students engaged and learning.

Taking us on a journey of his life and the things he accomplished in his time. Born to a family of farmers, Lincoln stood out from an early age—literally! (He was six feet four inches tall.) As the sixteenth President of the United States, he guided the nation through the Civil War and saw the abolition of slavery. Books are great ways to teach kids a lot of information through one good source.

What makes this book nonfiction is that it tells us about Dr.Suess and his life which are real. We would call this a biography, someone else is writing about Dr.Suess' life. 


We need to keep nonfiction books in our classrooms as every child likes to read something different. Nonfiction books are also good for children to learn about real-life events, people, and animals.
