Brad Buhrow and Anne Garcia are primary teachers in a diverse school in Boulder, Colorado. In Ladybugs, Tornadoes and Swirling Galaxies, you will see how they blend comprehension instruction and ELL best practices to explore inquiry as a literacy pathway for English language learners. As teachers and students engage in learning science and social studies content they also discover multiple ways to make meaning. The book is full of photographs of student artwork—including a color insert—that reveals the children's inquiry process, and demonstrates the important role of art as a sign system in ELL literacy and language acquisition.

After The Beginning In a brilliant flash about fourteen billion years
ago, time and matter were born in a single instant of creation. An
immensely hot and dense universe began its rapid expansion everywhere,
creating space where there was no space and time where there was no
time. In the intense fire just after the beginning, the lightest
elements were forged, later to form primordial clouds that eventually
evolved into galaxies, stars, and planets. This evolution is the story
told in this fascinating book. Interwoven with the storyline are short
pieces on the pioneering men and women who revealed those wonders to us.
Ours is about 100,000 light years across, is shaped like a fried egg and we travel inside it at approximately 220 kilometres per second. The nearest one to us is much smaller and is nicknamed the Sagittarius Dwarf. But the one down the road, called Andromeda, is just as large as ours and, in 10 billion years, we'll probably crash into it.
Galaxies - the vast islands in space of staggering beauty and even more staggering dimension. But galaxies are not simply there to adorn the universe, they house much of its visible matter and maintain the stars in a constant cycle of creation and destruction.
