Dr. Denenberg Day 2, Part 2

Cobblestone Magazine:  Dr. Denenberg is a regular columnist in the magazine, but it is just a great magazine!!

Joy Hakim - A History of US, All the People (A great book to get stories about historical heroes).  She brings the stories back to American History.  This can be a book that is used on its own, instead of the history textbook that we have.  There are different volumes of these books.  One of the great parts of her books is that she puts really interesting facts into her book.  This really gets the kids into what they are learning.  Fabulous stories and teaching materials that accompany it...they are hard to get.  They're through Johns Hopkins University. 

Jig-Saw:  See the pack of papers that Dr. Denenberg handed out.
