Forgot your book at school? No problem!

Did you know that you can find your child's Science and Social Science Textbooks online?
It is easy and can even save your child the trouble of lugging around heavy books.

For science just click this link: http://activities.macmillanmh.com/science/ca/

Just click on the book cover for fourth grade. This will lead you to all sorts of activities to help your child learn more about their current science lessons.
In order to view the actual textbook just click on this link and enter the login info found below: http://www.glencoe.com/sites/common_assets/science/ose/
Username: casci04
Password: redwood

For Social Science it is just as easy.
Click on this link: http://mhln.com/UnregisterController?ACTION=POST&MANAGER=LOGON&OPERATION=LOGON&JSP=index.jsp

Simply click on the " For Students" tab (on the left side) and enter our class code: Owen2007

You will get a list of the textbooks in grade order. Just click on fourth grade.

Both of these sites have games and extra resources to help your children expand there knowledge in the sciences. How great is it to live in this day and age where your child's books can be found on your computer. My back still hurts from carrying all of my books around as a youth.

Please comment to this post and let us know how this resource has been helpful for your family.

Hi Mr. Laing,

Darius forgot his Social Studies book last night and it was really cool to be able go online and access the information to answer the workbook questions. I found myself inquisitively scrolling through the pages to learn more about tortoises than I ever knew.
