We have several new biographies to offer this month. Each one has a biography written for the elementary student. Activities include free study aids; a printable story, worksheet, crossword puzzle, word search, scrambled word puzzle, online game and an online jigsaw puzzle. There are several links for students to do in-depth research on their own.

A Personal Note
Some wonder how I have time to write all the biographies. My sweet husband Murray who is 85 years old has Alzheimer's disease. The doctor tells us he is in the moderate to severe stage, so we spend a lot of time at home. When we go somewhere we go together and we get out and go to the gym, the grocery store, to church, and once a month to a concert. He doesn't wander...yet, so I can still leave him for short periods of time when I have an appointment with my doctor or dentist. Garden of Praise is my outlet and my window to the world. Three of our four children live near and they and our grandchildren are our joy. God blesses us with everything we need.

The banner at the top of the page features my granddaughter Veronica. A wallpaper image of the picture of her smelling the flowers is available for you to download and enjoy. Veronica is now 18 years old and will graduate from high school this spring.
