David has always been fascinated with Alcatraz . I would like David to become more interested in reading. David can help Charlie with his reading.
I found a new novel called Where Is Alcatraz? written my Nico Medina. I purchased the book for Charlie the other day when we visited Barnes and Noble.
If we were still Homeschooling Charlie full time we would have been able to read Where Is Alcatraz and come up with quite a few lesson plans but we aren’t at the moment.
Charlie is in Public School and required to read for 30 minutes a day so Charlie will be reading Where Is Alcatraz and sharing what he learned with me.
Escape from the ordinary and break into Alcatraz, America’s most famous prison!
The island of Alcatraz has always been a place that’s fascinated visitors, from the Native American tribes who believed it was home to evil spirits to the Spanish explorers who discovered the island.
In modern times, it was a federal prison for only 29 years, but now draws over a million visitors each year. Learn the history of America’s most famous prison, from its initial construction as a fort in the 1800’s, to its most famous residents such as Al Capone and “Machine Gun” Kelly.
Where Is Alcatraz? also chronicles some of the most exciting escape attempts—even one that involved chipping through stone with spoons and constructing rafts out of raincoats! Escape from the ordinary and break into Alcatraz, America’s most famous prison!
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
