History books are replete with heroic stories of Washington,
Jefferson, and Adams, but what of Allen, Russwurm, and Hawley?
"America's Black Founders "celebrates the lesser known but
significant lives and contributions of our nation's early African
American leaders. Many know that the Revolutionary War's first
martyr, Crispus Attucks, a dockworker of African descent, was
killed at the Boston Massacre. But far fewer know that the final
conflict of the war, the Battle of Yorktown, was hastened to a
conclusion by James Armistead Lafayette, a slave and spy who
reported the battle plans of General Cornwallis to George
Washington. Author Nancy Sanders weaves the histories of dozens of
men and women--soldiers, sailors, ministers, poets, merchants,
doctors, and other community leaders--who have earned proper
recognition among the founders of the United States of America. To
get a better sense of what these individuals accomplished and the
times in which they lived, readers will celebrate Constitution Day,
cook colonial foods, publish a newspaper, petition their
government, and more. This valuable resource also includes a time
line of significant events, a list of historic sites to visit or
explore online, and Web resources for further study.
Kidnapped by Celtic Druids in 433, Patrick and Beth are headed to
certain death when followers of a former Irish Slave (Saint
Patrick, called "Patritius" in this book) save them. The cousins
find themselves in the midst of a power struggle between Ireland's
King Logaire, Patritius, and the leader of the Druids, Lochru. A
spiritual showdown begins on the Hill of Slane when Patritius
builds a fire, challenging the King's authority. Will Patritius
prove to the king that the God of the Bible is the true God? Or
will the king take sides with the Druids? The Emerald Isle holds
many tales and legends, but this story of truth and standing strong
for God is not one to be missed.
What do all these people have in common: the first man to die in
the American Revolution, a onetime chief of the Crow Nation, the
inventors of peanut butter and the portable X-ray machine, and the
first person to make a wooden clock in this country? They were all
great African Americans. For parents and teachers interested in
fostering cultural awareness among children of all races, this book
includes more than 70 hands-on activities, songs, and games that
teach kids about the people, experiences, and events that shaped
African American history. This expanded edition contains new
material throughout, including additional information and
biographies. Children will have fun designing an African mask,
making a medallion like those worn by early abolitionists, playing
the rhyming game "Juba," inventing Brer Rabbit riddles, and
creating a unity cup for Kwanzaa. Along the way they will learn
about inspiring African American artists, inventors, and heroes
like Harriet Tubman, Benjamin Banneker, Rosa Parks, Langston
Hughes, and Louis Armstrong, to name a few.
Stories in verse, refreshing, hoping to make you laugh, cry, and
ponder about life.

Incorporating leveled reading within each script, readers theatre
plays offer teachers the flexibility to include readers of every
ability in the same read-aloud play. Hello Hi-Lo: Readers Theatre

grade, and 7th-8th grade. Concepts are presented so that they are

the scripts reinforce key math concepts and standards-based math
skills taught in the middle grades, such as order of operations,
fractions, inequalities, positive and negative numbers, and
graphing on a coordinate plane. Each play includes extended
activities that will help the teacher incorporate the math concept
into the classroom.
