The Girl with a Mind for Math: The Story of Raye Montague | Julia Finley Mosca

pick

Similar to the Hidden Figures movie that came out a while ago, this biography by Julia Mosca showcases the brilliant minds of women that were often overlooked by history. This book could also be transformed into a readers theatre, using this great lesson plan as a guide: http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/readers-theatre-1... The UDL coincides with Sustaining Effort & Persistence fostering collaboration and

Owen is an adorable F picture book about a young mouse who struggles to give up his favorite comfort item. In the end his family works together to find a way to help him keep it around all the time!
