Big & Awesome Bridges

Publisher: Urban Adventure Press

Adopted: / Category: Core

"[Big & Awesome Bridges was] created for and to better connect the third and fourth grade students in Portland and Vancouver and to provide a missing curriculum gap — bridges have been taught as part of Portland Public Schools third grade social studies curriculum since at least the 1950s, but until now there has never been a book for this age group, their teachers, and parents...[It is] a regional resource featuring 22 big river railway and roadway bridges between Vancouver and Oregon City, with a 19-page bridge building and load-testing unit, the poems and artwork of students and adults, and interviews with engineers, ironworkers, bridge operators, and others."
