For Teachers:

Magazines in the Classroom
    Many of my articles may be in your library. Or you can purchase back issues of Cobblestone, Faces, Calliope and Dig by contacting Cricket Magazine Group. You can read some of my articles here, including three in Highlights for Children. 
Suggested Ages / Grades
Most of my magazine pieces are for ages 8-14 (grades 3-8).
My retold folktales are also appropriate for children a bit younger.
My two plays are recommended for students in grades 4-8. Both are now available in Rosen Publishing Group's book series, Readers' Theater: Exploring History Through Plays.
The articles in AppleSeeds are written for ages 7-10.
Enrichment Activities
Any of my activities will enrich units of appropriate subject matter.
