We will categorize books in several different ways, to facilitate searching.

A Picture Book of Sacagawea

Title: A Picture Book of Sacagawea
Author/Illustrator: David Adler and Dan Brown
Publisher: Holiday House Publication Date:  2001
Genre:  Biography Picture Book
Audience:  1st-5th grade
Overview: This book shows the life story of Sacagawea.  Including how she was kidnapped as a young girl, and how she assisted Lewis and Clark on their journey to the Pacific.  The pictures in the book are eye catching and really bring the book to life.
Activity: Have the students make native American style necklaces by stringing beads.  Reinforce the idea of beginning, middle, and end by having the students make the necklace into a large pattern.  Example, have the students use large beads in the beginning, small beads in the middle, and large beads at the end.
