[LM_NET] HIT: K-2 library magazines

["Boshnack, Judy" <BoshnackJ@HARBORFIELDSCSD.ORG>]

Thank you all for your responses. I forwarded the info to the librarian and she 
thanks everyone for your help.
This was my original post:

The K-2 Media Specialist wanted to update the magazine collection in the library 
and was hoping to get some recommendations from those of you who work with this age 
group. 
Which titles do you find the students get the most out of and which ones are the 
teachers using?
Also do you get Ladybug and Spider? Are they used by students and/or teachers?

Below is the list of recommended magazines. The starred items are the ones that 
were mentioned the most.

Disney Adventures*
Big Backyard
Nickelodeon
National Geographic Kids*
Zoobooks **
Highlights
Ranger Rick *
Discover Kids
Jack and Jill
Sports Illustrated for Kids*
Owl
Dogs for Kids

The overall most popular magazine was Zoobooks. Each issue features a particular 
animal and gives info about the animal and pictures. Note to all: Zoobooks does 
repeat copies after several years but they have been known to issue an alternate 
when requested.

Several schools mentioned that they have or used to have Ladybug and Spider and 
that there was not as much student interest in these titles in this age group.
These two happen magazines are a little pricey at $60 a year.
Thanks so much!
