Previous Unit: Sports in American Culture

Over the next few weeks, we will be reading about the impact that sports have on American culture.

We will also be studying important athletes throughout history who have stood up for human rights.


Don't forget that we all are reading our independent reading books for 30 minutes a night, in order to grow as people and as readers, and reach our book goal for the year!
