Above the Rim - How Elgin Baylor Changed Basketball - Book Companion

I have read this story by Jen Bryant to my students for a few years now. It's great to read around March Madness or for Black History Month. I absolutely love the illustrations as well! This companion will offer quick and meaningful extension activities as well. I like to use them for morning work on the following days or in center rotations. Each slide is created to be printed and ran for your students, but could also be laminated for centers. Hope you enjoy this as well!
