By teaching us lessons from the hundreds of advanced cultures that prospered on this North American continent…Allen helps us to see that patriarchy is neither universal nor inevitable, but the first step in normalizing hierarchy

This was a beautiful tribute to a man who only wanted the world to be a good place. It was great to hear about how he sometimes felt unsure of himself and unsure if what he was doing was right. It was great to hear him talk about how teaching children was so important and it was great hearing about how he developed his style for teaching children in such a way. Such a great guy. We didn't deserve him but I'm happy we had him.
  
A historical fiction lovers dream. This book is all about getting history right and teaching you not just the well known facts but also the smaller facts that lead to Washington's escape. A picture is painted of how each decision lead to the next and how the Maryland 400 really helped save the day.

Perfect for all ages of historical fiction. This book really gives a truer view while teaching facts that not many may know. I learned things I never knew and am excited to have friends of history read this as well.

Sort of obsessed with Pinterest. You can find anything- recipes, tips & tricks, fashion, home & decor ideas, gardening info, teaching resources, and pretty much anything you can think of. Super easy to use and semi-addicting once you get started!

What a quick awesome read. I had to read four chapters of it for a class while substitute teaching. During my prep and right after school I read the rest of the book. I laughed and I cried. Amazing!

"A few years ago when I was teaching a course at Berkeley I reread A Farewell to Arms and fell right back into those sentences. I mean they’re perfect sentences. Very direct sentences, smooth rivers, clear water over granite, no sinkholes"

"John Logan's stunning play about Mark Rothko testing and teaching his young assistant resulted in one of the best evenings I have ever had in the theatre. I keep the script on my iPad to dip into for inspiration and lessons of conviction."

Since I will be teaching this book next year I just reread it. I still have yet to see the movie and probably won't because movies always disappoint me. I had forgotten what a romance this book was but the action balances it out. It seemed better the first time.
  
Piggie is teaching all her friends to dance, but Gerald might prove to be a bit of a challenge. Lots of laughs and a sweet ending make this one a winner.
