Developed to be easy and require minimum preparation time, yet give high-impact results, this book offers tried-and-true teacher-tested book projects for primary grades K-3. The book's topics connect curriculum areas: creative writing, science, social studies, and math. Projects outlined in the book require few materials and can be done at students' desks. Providing templates for all but the most simple projects, the book suggests that, if a school's copier use is limited, one photocopy of a template can be used to make cardboard templates for students to trace--tracing and drawing their own details makes each students work look unique. The book provides a list of standard supplies, such as scissors, glue, and crayons, as well as lists of occasional special items needed for specific book designs. Also suggested are ideas for the use of recycled items. (CR)
