Mrs. Krause's Korner: Author Study Information

Mrs. Krause
Grade 3 & 4 Teacher
Students & Parents,
We'll it is time to work on your "Author Study" for Lutheran Schools Week. Here are a few "starting" web-sources to help you with the project. Just click on the sites below your author to take you to more information. You may also use the sites listed under "Other" to help you find additional information. Note: These sites may not always work and they are not your ONLY sources. They are intended to simply get you started on your research. You should still search other places on the web or go to the public library and look for books on your author. If you have any questions, just ask me. God bless your efforts!
-- Mrs. Krause
