Quotable Quotes...,

This review is from: Incredible Quotations (Grades 4-8) (reproducible) (Paperback)
I am a 5th grade teacher and we spend time everyday writing in journals. This book is full of wonderful quotations that prompt my students to think deeply. Not only are there quotations, but it offers thought provoking questions to follow each quotation.My students really enjoy reading not only what Abraham Lincoln thinks, but also there are quotations from people like Michael Jordan and Carl Lewis. This is a must in your classroom!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Incredible Quotations (Grades 4-8) (reproducible) (Paperback)
It's a nice book. I bought it for my wife to use as inspiration for her students (6th grade) and she thinks it's great. Shipping was fast, well in time for the start of school.
