Know Your History, Make History! I teach English language arts for 4th graders in an urban elementary school.
My students are learning about the literary genre of biographies, yet we do not have biographies for the students to use to learn.
Therefore, I am asking for some picture books that focus on some famous Americans for my students to learn about in order to develop a better understanding of the genre and our shared history.
Your donation will allow my students to learn about Americans that have made an impact. By providing them with a variety of stories, you will be giving them a chance to learn about people who have made a difference. By learning about these extraordinary people, my students can be inspired to be extraordinary themselves.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
