(NAME-MCE) American Indian Research projects

[Debbie Reese]

Good morning,

Yesterday on American Indians in Children's Literature,
http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com
I wrote about resources teachers, parents, and librarians
can use to help students do research projects on
American Indian topics.

Below is a list of what I've added this past week. Have a
good week, and please forward this email to others who
work with children and children's books.
