Elementary (Gale In Context) (Gale - NOVELNY)
Resources for elementary school children across subjects learned in elementary school.
Provided by the New York State Library NOVELNY program, Gale In Context: Elementary, formerly Kids InfoBits, gradually lets elementary school children gain comfort with research by delivering age-appropriate, reliable, curriculum-related content covering a broad range of subjects taught in the classroom like animals, arts and music, social studies, and more. Unlike other classroom databases, Elementary offers kids through grade 5 a platform with rich visuals that will encourage their natural curiosity and get them excited about learning.
