Great Tool for the Classroom

Even though this publication is older, it provides valuable information regarding birth dates and important events that occured throughout history. It is necessary to fill in with recent events, but this book can be used to help develop student awareness in areas that are not touched by content areas of the curriculum.

Bring this back in print!

Hopkins and Arenstein did a wonderful job on this. Besides being useful in the classroom, events coordinators and trivia buffs will find it indispensible. I suspect the people who write the questions for The Weakest Link have a copy.

A Great Gift

In 1990, when I finished student teaching, my cooperating teacher gave me a copy of this book. She wrote inside, "It's the first day of the rest of your life". I have used it and lent it for a dozen years. It's a great source for quick history lessons and concise information. I'll be giving one to a student teacher I've been working with when she leaves tomorrow.

Do You Know What Day Tomorrow is? (A Teacher's Almanac)

This book is an excellent resource for historical (and sometimes trivial) information. Although it is somewhat outdated and I am unable to find a more current version of this book, I still find it useful. I use it on a daily basis as a springboard for conversation and discussion with my fourth grade class. It provides an opportunity to discuss issues and historical figures that may not otherwise be addressed in our curriculum. The brief explanations of the significance of a particular day are perfect for a mini lesson on that topic. I am anxious for an updated version of this book.
