Our first author to study is Patricia Polacco. She is one of my favorite authors. She writes about her family that immigrated to America from Russia. She also writes about her difficulties learning to read and write when she was young. Students who read at least one book by Patricia Polacco and find five interesting facts about her will receive a spirit stick! Make sure you write your full name, grade, and teacher's name on your paper and turn it in to the Author Study box on the library window.
A good place to find information about Patricia Polacco is her website.
