Someday she hopes to join her heroes like Sophie "the Flash" Kurys and Betty "Moe" Trezza.

Based on written accounts and on the memories of the players themselves, this exciting story is for all those sandlot sluggers whose hearts beat a little faster whenever they hear the words?"Play ball!"

A Place Where Sunflowers Grow
Under the harsh summer sun, Mari’s art class has begun. But it’s hard to think of anything to draw in a place where nothing beautiful grows — especially a place like Topaz, the internment camp where Mari’s family and thousands of other Japanese Americans have been sent to live during World War II. Somehow, glimmers of hope begin to surface — in the eyes of a kindly art teacher, in the tender words of Mari’s parents, and in the smile of a new friend. Amy Lee-Tai’s sensitive prose and Felicia Hoshino’s stunning mixed-media images show that hope can survive alongside even the harshest injustice.

The Case for Loving
For most children these days it would come as a great shock to know that before 1967, they could not marry a person of a race different from their own. That was the year that the Supreme Court issued its decision in Loving v. Virginia.This is the story of one brave family: Mildred Loving, Richard Perry Loving, and their three children. It is the story of how Mildred and Richard fell in love, and got married in Washington, D.C. But when they moved back to their hometown in Virginia, they were arrested (in dramatic fashion) for violating that state's laws against interracial marriage. The Lovings refused to allow their children to get the message that their parents' love was wrong and so they fought the unfair law, taking their case all the way to the Supreme Court - and won!

Strategy Lesson Grade 5 Non Fiction
After 2 minutes explaining the format of this lesson, you'll watch Jennifer Serravallo lead a small group of readers who are working on using text features to explain the meaning of "tier 3" domain-specific vocabulary words in nonfiction texts. This lesson is focused on their goal - understanding vocabulary - but notice the children are reading different texts and are at different reading levels. The lesson begins with the explanation/quick demo of a strategy and the majority of the time is spent coaching and providing feedback to readers as they practice in their own self-selected independent-level texts
