title: School Zone - First Grade Super Scholar Workbook, Ages 5 to 7, Alphabetizing, Phonics, Rhyming, Sentence and Story Structure, and More
author: Judith Giglio
description: I love this book. It's a very bright and colorful book with lots of nice pictures and there are a lot of creative learning activities in here to keep a child interested. There is a page that your child can cut out and make a number sentence book with cute pictures of animals getting on and off of a boat. Another page is like a board game in which you flip a coin and move your marker around the board and when you land on a spot, you must do what is indicated on that space for some points and the game is over when you reach the finish line and total all your points to determine who the winner is. There is a page where you are given clues as to what is in an egg and after you write all your answers down, you hold the page up to a light and a picture shines through so you can see if you were right. There are words you have to decode using the decoding box provided. A rhyming word maze where your child determines whether 2 words rhyme or not and if they do rhyme, That's the path you take. A page where you do a series of math problems and use your answers to decode a secret animal name. Just all kinds of fun stuff. Very nice! --Amazon<br /><br />We bought this book to help my daughter keep up with her homework while we were gone on vacation. It i is not difficult for my child to do, and fits neatly with what she is learning in class. Each page is very brightly illustrated, and the paper itself is fairly sturdy. Has perforations to tear out easily. There's a good variety To the questions And it is interesting enough that my child has volunteered to do extra pages on occasion. The book itself is themed on the zoo. Lots of questions about animals and maps and so on. --Amazon

  **Joe Normal stood at the front of the room,  
  next to Mrs. North.…**
  
  
  He looked just like a normal third grader.
  
  
  “Where are you from, Joe?” asked Mrs. North.
  
  
  “Um … Earth,” said Joe. “Just like you.”
  
  
  Mrs. North laughed. “Good answer,” she said. “But really, what city?”
  
  
  “City?” asked Joe.
  
  
  Marvin could tell Joe was nervous. He knew he’d be nervous, too, if he had to
  move someplace and go to a new school.
