[LM_NET] HIT: 5th grade Middle School reference

[Robin Shtulman <robsht1@GPSK12.ORG>]

Hi!
Thank you to everyone who shared expertise.

The 2 most mentioned resources were:

Grolier Online
and
The World Book Student Discovery Encyclopedia set.

Other recommendations:

Grolier Online
which has The New Book of Knowledge, Amazing Animals of the World, an  
encyclopedia of states, and Land and Peoples which covers the globe.

There is also a Grolier Multimedia encyclopedia which has shorter  
articles but covers more topics than a standard encyclopedia and a  
nice interactive atlas.  I still find that some of the articles are  
hard for my students (4th and 5th), but it's our #1 resource.

World Almanac for Kids

An online subscription to netTrekker would provide three levels of  
teacher-&-librarian-screened Web sites.

World Book online
EBSCO subscription data bases for young students.

World Book.
World Book Student Discovery.
