Help Mrs. Tyler-Parker

I teach Kindergarten in a Title One school, where over half of my class speaks a first language other than English and is on free or reduced lunch (federal and state program). We are working hard to develop a literacy program with a concentration on personal narratives (CA Writing Standard) and informational writing (Noyce Writing Grant). Insects are also a Science Standard for Kindergarten on the California Framework. The fascinating world of insects comes alive in this colorful series of books that I am requesting. Young scientists can use these books to discover similarities and differences among these unique creatures. The books support science activities while giving students practice in reading nonfiction materials. Second language children particularly need good visuals, in order to understand what they are studying. This is also one of the only sets I have been able to find which is appropriate for very young learners (K-2). We do not have a funding grant for books to accompany this work. As a result, I am really in need of a classroom set to support the work we are doing with science, writing, and animal groups. Mammals, fishes, etc., are not so difficult to collect materials around, but a really good set of insect books is hard to find. This one is terrific series and the company is target specific for insects and garden 'bugs'. Your consideration would be so appreciated. Young children love insects, if you teach them appropriately. The San Francisco Zoo made their insectarium available for a visit, which was a huge success. Having an excellent book set would have been such a grand follow-up.
