Loves, Links, Reads, and Reviews - September 2021

Historical Fiction and 9/11

August 25, 2021 By: peacefieldhistory

When asked for suggestions regarding middle-grade fiction about the American Revolution, teachers are often provided with titles that were published long ago. In fact, the suggestion I see most often is Johnny Tremain, a book published in 1944! The books April Morning and My Brother Sam is Dead are also often referenced. While all three […]

10 Cooperative Learning Idea for a Socially Distanced Classroom

October 11, 2020 By: peacefieldhistory
