Re: 4th grade unit Lovina's Song

[Leya Booth <lboot1@LAUSD.K12.CA.US>]

Hi!  Has anyone -- librarian or teacher -- used Lovina's Song (by Marian
Rudolph) and the accompanying workbooks and materials for a 4th grade unit on
California, particularly regarding the Donner Party?  What do you think of it?

I read exerpts from Patty Reed's Doll last year and it was rather dry.  The
4th graders see Patty Reed's Doll during their class trip to Sacramento in May
and I was hoping to prepare them with a more engaging read-aloud and follow-up
activities.

Thank you in advance!
