Book details

Teacher Created Materials - Literary Text: Journey to the Center of the Earth - Grade 2 - Guided Reading Level J
Description
As the students arrive for science class, they are met by Mr. Verne--and this doesn't seem to be just an ordinary class. The students are shocked as Mr. Verne has them wear special suits and jump aboard a rocket! The children are headed straight for the center of the earth and learn about each of Earth's layers along the way. Early readers will love this scientific study of Earth, as well as the stunningly vivid illustrations. About Shell Education, Rachelle Cracchiolo started the company with a friend and fellow teacher. Both were eager to share their ideas and passion for education with other classroom leaders. What began as a hobby, selling lesson plans to local stores, became a part-time job after a full day of teaching, and eventually blossomed into Teacher Created Materials. The story continued in 2004 with the launch of Shell Education and the introduction of professional resources and classroom application books designed to support Teacher Created Materials curriculum resources. Today, Teacher Created Materials and Shell Education are two of the most recognized names in educational publishing around the world.
