Weekly Reader

Using our Weekly Reader in Social Studies we discussed Presidents' Day which was February 18th. George Washington was our 1st president, Abraham Lincoln was our 16th president and George Bush is our 43rd president. We also discussed Famous African Americans in honor of Black History Month. Rosa Parks made history. She helped change a law that was unfair to African American people.
Nikki Giovanni is a writer. She is the author of books and poems for children and adults. She wrote a children's book called Rosa. It is about the life of Rosa Parks. So many people have made an impact on our society. Thank you!
