My Project

History is full of unsolved crimes, mysterious disappearances, and strange sightings. In this fascinating inquiry unit, readers will discover some of the most well-known mysteries in history--including Amelia Earhart, Big Foot, The Loch Ness Monster, The Lost Colony of Roanoke, The Great Chicago Fire and Mary Celeste Lost Ship.

We need nonfiction books that have detailed images, intriguing facts, and informational text in conjunction with a glossary of terms and an index, so that readers will be enthralled from beginning to end!

Many of our students have learning disabilities and some of our students have fallen behind since the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is imperative to encourage both group work, especially during these times, and independent work so our students can succeed academically and socially. In order to do this, we have to appeal to our students' interests by staying up-to-date with technology and literature.
