The type of materials located in Culturegrams are World, a Kids edition, States, and Provinces. The site has a large amount of information that is reliable and a great source for research. The way I would use this in my classroom is have students do a state report. This would be a great resource for them to go to retrieve the information they need to complete a report.]]> 2017-12-01 01:29:23 UTC https://padlet.com/pmoeai1/lybtzwm6p9an/wish/212124829 Library of Congress chjensen https://padlet.com/pmoeai1/lybtzwm6p9an/wish/212124952 I really like this site! I teach Social Studies to all 5th graders and there are plenty of authentic photos, documents, information...even a link to a summer professional development course for teachers. So much information regarding historical events, documents, people of interest....
