Social Studies 910-919 By Teresa Flemming
Exploring Social Studies Through Children's Books
The 900 books are located in the center of the library where they are accessible to the students and the teachers. Students can easily look books up using our library computer system, Destiny. The system gives the student an over view of the location of the book, the call number, and a brief summary.
When I taught pre-k and kindergarten, I was big on checking out literature to tie into my themed lessons. Integrating literature into social studies help students make personal connections and build background knowledge, stimulates creative thinking, increases vocabulary, and provide students with new information.
Data Evaluation
The publication of the books were not terribly bad, due to the fact Bulloch County recently purchased hundreds of books to integrate with the Common Core Standards.

Published in 1956, this book is extremely out of date. I use the MUSTY acronym to weed this book. The book did not have any misleading information, and it was in pretty good shape. The book had an updated version that was available and it was unappealing to students and teachers. The book has not been in circulation at least three years.
