Pleasant, SC 29464  \nby Linda Stanek illustrated by Shennen Bersani  \nHow to Use This Activity Guide (General)  \nThere are a wide variety of activities that teach or supplement all curricular areas. The activities are easily adapted up or down depending on the age and abilities of the children involved. And, it is easy to pick and choose what is appropriate for your setting and the time involved. Most activities can be done with an individual child ora group of children.  \nFor teachers in the classroom: We understand that time is at a premium and that, especially in the early grades, much time is spent teaching language arts. All Arbordale titles are specifically selected and developed to get children excited about learning other subjects (science, geography, social studies, math, etc.) while reading (or being read to) . These activities are designed to be as comprehensive and crosscurricular as possible. If you are teaching sentence structure in writing, why not use sentences that teach science or social studies? We also know and understand that you must account for all activities done in the classroom. While each title is aligned to all of the state standards (both the text and the For Creative Minds), it would be nearly impossible to align all of these activities to each state’s standards at each grade level. However, we do include some of the general wording of the CORE language arts and math standards, as well as some of the very general science or social studies standards. You’ll find them listed as “objectives” in italics. You should be able to match these objectives with your state standards fairly easily.  \nFor homeschooling parents and teachers in private schools: Use as above. Aren’t you glad you don’t have to worry about state standards?  \nFor parents/caregivers: Two of the most important gifts you can give your child are the love of reading and the desire to learn. Those passions are instilled in your child long before he or she steps into a classroom. Many adults enjoy reading historical fiction [novels . . . fun](novels . . . fun) to read but also to learn (or remember) about historical events. Not only does Arbordale publish stories that are fun to read and that can be used as bedtime books or quiet “lap” reading books, but each story has non-fiction facts woven through the story or has some underlying educational component to sneak in “learning.” Use the “For Creative Minds” section in the book itself and these activities to expand on your child’s interest or curiosity in the subject. They are designed to introduce a subject so you don’t need to be an expert (but you will probably look like one to your child!) . Pick and choose the activities to help make learning fun!  \nFor librarians and bookstore employees; after-school program leaders; and zoo, aquarium, nature center, park & museum educators: Whether reading a book for story time or using the book to supplement an educational program, feel free to use the activities in your programs.
