    Excellent resources for elementary social studies teachers who need to integrate literacy skills with history content. Can't wait to use it.

    Thank you for stopping by, Jane -- and thank you for the good words! Education specialists from the Library of Congress are visiting Kim Heckart's classroom this week to observe the model. We hope they will share it through the PD they provide for teachers around the world.
