Students will need a copy of the book. It can be downloaded on a Kindle device instantly, purchased directly, or borrowed from the library. Parents, I will email a book list shortly after enrollment.

Before class I will send the Book Club card for us to cut out in class or for you to make before class. I will also send the printable for our craft for class one. For that craft you will need the printable that I send, glue, scissors, crayons or markers, and either construction paper or printer paper.

Students will also need supplies for their projects. Depending on what they want to do, most supplies will be on hand, such as paper, cardboard, glue, crayons, scissors... and if they'd like to just write a poem or build with legos... that is just as good!

History is full of things that can be unpleasant. During our reading we will learn about things like war and slavery, but we will also see how people overcame much of this. This is a safe environment to learn in and a great place to express our feelings about events of the past. Below are some specific items in each book that could be new to learners...

George Washington was a slaveholder.

Thomas Jefferson was a slaveholder, he also was in a relationship with his wife's half sister, who was a slave, after his wife died. This can be a topic of debate, however, in class we just discuss the facts in the book... some of which might be new to learners.

Abraham Lincoln worked hard to free slaves but this book does discuss slavery and the Civil War. Lincoln was also assassinated and that is discussed.

Theodore Roosevelt became president after McKinley was assassinated and also had an assassination attempt on him. Roosevelt loved the environment but enjoyed hunting... which is discussed in the book.

Mount Rushmore was built by a gentleman that was once a member of the KKK, which is briefly mentioned in the book, as is his actions to later denounce the group. The book also talks about Native Americans and their struggles with the US government. Both topics might be new to learners.
