My Project

My students have been enthralled with all kinds of novels and different stories. I am trying to get them interested in biographies as there are many people that students don't know about. History brings the best conversations to my class and I know these books will add critical thinking and curiosity to my students minds.

With these books, students will have their eyes opened to our history.

I am hopeful that these books will hold their interest as they have so much good information in them and they are shorter books.

Mr. Brown
Grades 3-5
