Nonfiction - Published in 2003. Everyone knows about Paul Revere's midnight ride. But not everyone knows the harrowing details and narrow escapes that occurred along the way. This timeless and witty book highlights little-known facts about patriot Paul Revere.
Today I went with my oldest to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, which was spectacular (although some pieces we wanted to see were not on exhibit & the contemporary gallery was closed). The amazing thing is that with our local library card we could get in for $10 each (we won‘t discuss how much parking was). It was a great day & got to see some pretty amazing pieces
Tales of Famous Heroes is a (B) by Peter and Connie Roop and Illustrated by Rebecca Zomchek. The Tales of Famous is about the biography of 25 heroes and their achievements. The biography is from the heroes of today and history. This book is terrific for independent reading (IR) because it allows the students to explore heroes they might know about and learn about heroes from our history. #UCFLAE3414SP21
And that book a male reviewer couldn‘t believe a woman could do so well (see my last post) ?! Ironically I ordered this slip-cased edition of Forbes‘ book from ThriftBooks a couple months ago, and was pleasantly surprised at its excellent condition but for some spine fade from sunlight. Now I‘ve got to read this sooner rather than later to dispel that condescending blurb!!
This HF book utilizes humor and assigns quirky traits for each founding father, telling their story with a twist. John Hancock is bold (his large signature on the Declaration of Independence), Paul Revere is loud (his memorable “The British are coming“), George Washington is honest (the cherry tree incident), Benjamin Franklin is clever (his inventions/wittiness), and Thomas Jefferson is independent (he loved to write about liberty). The humor

Very interesting read. I never would have guessed that the poem was not so accurate about him.
#HomeschoolReads #NovemberReads My third grader is working on this one, but he should be done by the end of the week. I guess he got to show off his Paul Revere knowledge at Cub Scouts tonight. 😂 #homeschool #homeschoolmamas #sonlight
