  1. With the focus on nonfiction, choosing a favorite freebie was impossible. I know my students would love either National Geographic Kids Chapter Book Series or Discovery Series: Discovery Animals Classroom Library. Both look fabulous!

  2. My new classroom is bare and I have left being a principal to go back to the classroom. A new marriage in another state has provided with the opportunity to go back to what I love the most. I certainly would use ANYTHING for my new 4th grade classroom. Would be very interested in anything non-fiction.

  3. I love the National Geographic Kids Chapter Books. Can’t get enough nonfiction in the classroom.
    The prize, Great Habits-Great Readers, looks like an awesome teacher resource!!!
