  • unanswered questions about favorite character and their futures
  • wonders
  • powerful images
  • morals/lessons
These are just a few of the treasures that great books leave us after the last page has been read.

Living History Highlights!

I had a wonderful time listening to the fourth graders give their Living History speeches! As I was listening, my brain was surfing for new learning and fun facts. Also, I noticed that many of the famous people featured demonstrated amazing character traits that lead to their successes.

Please share your new learning, fun facts and/or thoughts about the important character traits of these famous people.
