A Lifesaver for Teachers of South Carolina History
When my principal told me that I would be teaching South Carolina history to third graders I went into a panic.I can tell you about Texas history and New England history, but all I know about South Carolina is slavery and grits.

This book got me oriented.It had lots of activities that I might never have thought of.

I love you, Amazon!
