Each 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.

1) tagged book
2) A Time for Defiance - too much military/fighting WWII & rather pathetic sister left behind in England. Probably others but this was a recent DNF

Music to soothe the soul. Song is more incorruptible than love. Songs endure & pass through generations while love can be transient.

Jane also delves into critical issues such as climate change, illegal hunting, and the detrimental impact of industrialization on the chimpanzee population.

annahenke This has been on my list for ages! I love a good memoir but I have a hard time putting down fiction for it. 1w

Who Was Roald Dahl? | True Kelley

Good 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.

BooksandCoffee4Me Have your students read Refugee, the three stories of refugees from different time periods and places - Germany, Cuba, Syria - whose storer connect at the end? My ninth-graders got into tracking the journeys and doing a variety of art pieces related to the characters. Discussions in small groups were fairly natural and not coerced, always a plus. 4w
