	What are these new safety labels for? Actually, these are the same labels that have always appeared on our products! But, new guidelines have prompted us to display any applicable safety labels wherever products are sold. The goal is to keep you as informed as possible about the products you purchase. At Lakeshore, child safety is our first priority. That's why our product testing standards exceed even those required by U.S. law. But, if you have any ques- tions about our products, we hope you won't hesitate to e-mail Customer Service or call us toll-free at (800) 428-4414, Mon.-Fri., 6:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m., PST. Thank you!

United States Resource Box
Our activity-filled resource box has everything students need to learn about U.S. government and important national symbols…and develop reading and writing skills at the same time! The 12" x 15" box features realistic props that give students a tactile and visual sense of important topics—from a beautiful reproduction of the Declaration of Independence to replicas of the Liberty Bell and Statue of Liberty. Plus, we’ve provided tons of ready-to-use teaching tools that support national social studies standards and build essential language skills—from reading for information and developing comprehension to writing in a variety of styles and genres. You even get a guide with over 20 pages of skill-building reproducibles and activities!

Targets standards in these areas:
• Recognizing symbols of the United States
• Understanding the significance of important American documents
• Understanding the three branches of government
• Reading comprehension
• Writing brief narratives and expository pieces
