TrueFlix and CultureGrams do not require a log in. TrueFlix is connected to the Scholastic True Book series (3rd grade teachers! - the US Regions from the new Social Studies curriculum is included!).
CultureGrams is a fantastic database with information on every US state, Canadian Province, and all the countries of the world. Not only does it cover basic information about the country but the CULTURE as well. If you are looking for more information for Social Studies - this is the place to go!
Let me know if you have any questions!

Caldecott and Newbery 2018 Announced!
Newbery Winner:
Filipino folklore and real life converge at the bottom of a well. Even while following signs and portents, the characters are the definition of creative agency. Masterfully told through shifting points of view, this modern quest tale shimmers with humor and authentic emotion.
Newbery Honor Book:
A boy walks into a barbershop; a prince walks out. Through lyrical free verse, Derrick Barnes’joyous paean celebrates the universal, transformative, confidence-building experience of a great haircut.

Caldecott Winner:
In this spare, nearly wordless picture book, a girl and a wolf cub each get lost in the snow and rescue each other. Cordell uses pen and ink and watercolor wash to capture the frenzied snowfall and the brave girl’s frantic, frightful journey. Fairy tale elements and a strong sense of color and geometry offer an engrossing, emotionally charged story.
Caldecott Honor Book:
Simple and joyful domestic routines underscore the deeply entwined lives of two feline companions and the impact of loss on one. Cooper uses expressive black-and-white line art with strategic, evocative washes of color to convey the reassuring circular nature of life.
Caldecott Honor Book:
An early morning fishing trip between father and son provides food for that evening’s dinner and time to reflect on a similar pond in Vietnam. Bui’s evocative thick black ink brushstrokes with graphic novel panels create a cinematic experience, powerfully capturing facial expressions, mood, and quiet moments. Based on the experiences of both the Vietnamese American illustrator and author, this story depicts the immigrant experience as well as universal themes of family, love, and survival.
Caldecott Honor Book:
An Asian-American father and daughter explore this national park, from the Inner Gorge to the South Rim. Chin uses watercolor, gouache and pen and ink to render sweeping landscapes, culminating in an epic gatefold panorama. Diagrams, die-cuts and field-guide inspired illustrations of animals, plants and fossils reveal the multiple layers and eons of formation.
Caldecott Honor Book:
This book was awarded a Caldecott Honor and Newbery Honor!
