Title:        "Who Was Albert Einstein?"

Author:      Jess Brallier      

Topic:        Biography

Grade:        4-6

 

Comments:  We shared some information from Wikipedia about Albert Einstein with the kids.  Then we read parts of the book by Jess Brallier.  The kids enjoyed the part where he didn't talk till he was 3 or 4 years old.  Albert said it was because up until then, everything had been fine!  They also thought it was neat that he donated his brain to science when he passed away.
