pickEach chapter in this impressive, informative read follows a female scientist influenced by Marie Curie while also sharing her astounding story. Marie's love of science still influences young scientists today, and her dedication to learning is infectious.
This book is well written and the perfect mix of science and personal reflections.

pickGood read in the "Who Was" series for kids 9-11 who enjoy books like "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory." Dahl had an adventurous life, made a comment or 2 he rightfully had to apologize for, and lost family members to illness/accidents. This is explained in kid-friendly ways, but too complicated for kids under 9. 4.5 stars. #kidlit #roalddahl
We finished Night today at work.Planning to have the students watch the movie The Book Thief to wind down to our spring break, which begins on Friday. Witness is a perfect complement to Night.
The language of stories. I am reading Witness along side our class reading of Night.
