Harcourt By Mzip

We have Harcourt, I think they are 3 years old. I hate them! I don't use them because they are so convoluded in the way they present the material. I teach 4th grade, but I can't imagine the 3rd grade text is any better. I gave the kids a reading assignment, on material we had already covered, out of the book a couple of times because I had to leave in the middle of the day and they were completely confused.

Good Luck! I'm not sure there are any good Science texts out there. If it were me, I would rather have the money to buy science resources to teach the curriculum.
