There's No Ham in Hamburgers

There’s No Ham in Hamburgers has more curriculum tie-ins than I have chocolate in my pantry. Ok, so that’s a lie because I keep a lot of chocolate in my pantry. But it is true that there are many ways to use There’s No Ham in Hamburgers in the classroom.  Check out these Educator’s Guides and see for yourself.

Educator’s Guide Grades 3-5

Educator’s Guide Grades 6-8

 

The material in the book also lends itself to fun, engaging, and educational author presentations.  I’m scheduling school visits for the 2021-2022 school year now.  To learn more about my author visits, click here:  Author visit information
