The Who Was? Project

Help me give my students a number of non-fiction of "Who Was" books.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Buccioni's classroom raised $248

This project is fully funded

My Project

This semester we are focusing on non-fiction titles during our Independent Reading time, and we have discovered that our selection of biographies is quite limited.

The "Who Was" series, also known as the Who HQ, is a series of illustrated biographies for young readers featuring significant historical figures, including artists, scientists, and world leaders.

This project is comprised of biographies of important figures from the past--both those who have recently passed, like Kobe Bryant, and those who lived long ago, like Alexander the Great. All of these books will be great additions to our classroom library.
