I wanted to share a fantastic resource that we learned from Ms. Rashmi, our lovely ELL teacher. It's something your child can do in his/her free time or for a bit of extra homework. (Even I enjoy reading these as they are a very quick, concise way to learn about people who changed history.)
It's called PebbleGo and you can access it by following these simple steps:
1. Go to the DAA Community Portal.
2. Click on the Library tab at the top.
3. Click on DAA Elementary Library, which is the link directly underneath Academic Search.
4. You are now on the DAA Elem. Library Page.
5. Click the second heading: "Database for PS."
6. Click PebbleGo for Primary (this is appropriate for our age-level as well)
7. Once you're in, you can click on Biographies.
8. After reading, your child should be able to answer the following for questions:

8. After reading, your child should be able to answer the following for questions:
- Who is your subject? (includes name, date of birth, death, facts about life, etc.)
- What did he or she want? (freedom, to find a way to allow blind people to read, etc.)
- What were some of his or her struggles?
- How did he or she overcome those struggles?
Also, please be sure to check the extras at the bottom of each biography as they include an activity page, video, timeline, and related articles.
