@ The Schmitz Park Library
With Ms. Vannini
THIS IS THE PLAN...
This is the staff newsletter of the Schmitz Park Library. Regularly you will hear about one book, one tech resource, one good idea and what is happening in the library. Feel free to share information with your students and their parents.
HE HAS SHOT THE PRESIDENT!
The headline shocked the nation: President Lincoln Shot by Assassin John Wilkes Booth! One of the most exciting stories in American history told with full color illustrations.
The fifth installment in Don Brown's Actual Times series featuring significant days in American history covers the Lincoln assassination and ensuing manhunt. In He Has Shot the President!, both Lincoln and Booth emerge as vivid characters, defined by the long and brutal Civil War and set on a collision course toward tragedy.
SCHMITZ PARK GLOG
An easy link that will take your students to some educational websites such as: National Geographic Explorer, Stories Online, and access to all Seattle public school online resources.
How do you get there? Go to the Schmitz Park website, click on Library on left hand side, and in brown box on the right, click on Library Glog. (you need to use FireFox).
