From the Back Cover

Teaching elementary school can be a challenge. Elementary school teachers must manage a busy classroom while teaching many subjects to a variety of students at different levels of ability. And of course at the end of the day, teachers are held accountable by administrators and parents for students' performance in the classroom and on standardized tests.

Written especially for the busy classroom teacher, The Elementary Teacher's Book of Lists is filled with a wide variety of useful material on a range of topics appropriate for grades K 5. The book features 273 lists on everything students and teachers might need to know at a glance, focusing on core content reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies as well as general reference topics, such as classroom management tips, suggestions for working effectively with parents and guardians, and advice for students on study skills. Many of the lists can be used as reproducibles to support instruction; other lists provide background information on specific topics or are useful for generating supplementary materials for students. At the end of each list, a short "Did You Know?" offers a final observation or helpful piece of information.

"The Elementary Teacher's Book of Lists is a treasure trove of indispensable and practical materials for busy teachers! Its user-friendly format and comprehensive approach make this a book that should be on every elementary teacher's desk." Julia G. Thompson, author, The First-Year Teacher's Survival Guide

"The Elementary Teacher's Book of Lists is a quick and easy reference for the newcomer or veteran teacher alike. Lists of high-frequency words, common abbreviations, math facts, study tips and much more are included to answer common questions asked by students in all subject areas. A must-have addition to service all types of learners." Joan D'Amico, author, Differentiated Instruction for the Middle School Math Teacher
