My Project

My diverse group of 4th grade high achievers love to read!

By adding the novel, May B.

by Caroline Starr Rose, to our curriculum, we can expand their knowledge of history and allow them to read a unique novel that is written in verse.

This book will enhance our Merchant Unit, which combines the history of the American West with economic concepts.

The story of May B., a young girl who survives on the Kansas prairie alone, will bring the time period to life for my learners!

My students will devour this great book!

Mrs. Kuligowski
Grades 3-5
