In Reading Workshop we are continuing to learn about Important Americans. Last week we read, Mr. Ferris and His Wheel, and learned about George Ferris' significant contribution which was the creation of the Ferris wheel. This contribution or "big idea" created entertainment for people. Martin Luther King’s "big idea" was to started the Civil Rights Movement with the belief that all of mankind can live in peace with nonviolence. Today we are reading about America's Champion Swimmer, Gertrude Ederle. Be sure to ask your child what Gertude's "big idea” was.
