My Project

In elementary school, we cover so many categories in math, science, history, current events, and reading. Who would you like to learn more about? These books provide a easy and fun way to read about many important figures past and present.

The Who Is/ Who Was books are easy, fun and interesting to read among elementary aged students.

Books about influential people are put out around the room for students to read, reference, and enjoy. These books allow students to read kid friendly text that teaches them about people who currently are influential and those of the past.
