In this ongoing class for ages, 3 to 6, the children will learn age-appropriate information about the lives of different historical figures. Each class will be based around a book in one or more of the following book series: Ordinary People Change the World series by Brad Meltzer, Little People Big Dreams by Isabel Snachez-Vegara, She Persisted, and others as available. Each story will be presented on the shared screen while the teacher reads the story. Color activity sheets will be made available for printing prior to class. The color and activity sheets will help reinforce learning and understanding of each historical figure. Students will also be able to print a "map" or "gameboard". that will help them navigate their way through Biogrpahyland. No prior knowledge is needed. Questions will be asked throughout the class to help with understanding the story being shared. Please note that the "I am..." series by Brad Meltzer is a great place to begin learning about historical figures however the books sometimes leave out or slightly change events. Although I do not understand the purpose of this and I do not agree with it I still feel that this series of books is a great place to begin learning about history and important people in the world.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I hold a BA in History with minors in Women's Studies and Humanities as well as an MA in History. My area of specialty is women's history (My studies also include the history of Women of Color and Indigenous Women), and American (United States) history from the 1560s to 1960s. I recently completed continuing education courses covering the American Civil War. Topics of study included the lives of enslaved people and the many different ways the Civil War affected their lives, people of color and women and their role in the Civil War, and the enforcement of freedom of the enslaved.
