The Boy who Harnessed the Wind, young reader edition - posted from Lake Forest, CA
I love the Language Arts curriculums, but for this section, I swapped out THE VIEW FROM SATURDAY with the BOY WHO HARNESSED THE WIND young readers edition. We love near-sih Palm Springs so can visit the windmills out there, and I had to use some material from Teachers Pay Teachers, but for this one, I thought it was worth it. The tie-in was great, and my daughter LOVED this book.
