Elisa Waingort Grade 2 Spanish Bilingual Dalhousie Elementary Calgary, Canada The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart. —Helen Keller Visit my blog, A Teacher's Ruminations, and post a message. http://waingortgrade2spanishbilingual.blogspot.com/ One book that is effective in helping students think about biomes and typical animal interaction is *Owen & Mzee: The True Story of a Remarkable Friendship*, written by Isabella Hatkoff. Another book that is great to incorporate science into winter activiteis is* Snowflake Bentley* by Jacqueline Briggs Martin. Here is a website with recommended trade books that happened to mention the Snowflake book at the start is http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~dkbrown/nsta99.html.
