SereneHome Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I would like to do "person of the week" for our next year. I started googling lists, but most of them include famous people vs people of accomplishments. Any suggestions? Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisha Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Well, the first that comes to mind for accomplishments is Louis Braille, but he's also famous. But is that what you mean? Jacque Cousteau- who invented SCUBA gear From a web search: Edith Wilson-Woodrow Wilson's wife-who was acting president-the first woman president-while her husband was ill Mary Anning-a paleontologist-first discovered and correctly identified the ichthyosaur skeleton Sybil Ludington-a 16 year old who rode side saddle, twice the distance of Paul Revere on that same night to alert of the arrival of the British Blaise Pascal-developed a calculator at age 19 That type of thing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kfamily Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 You might get some ideas from this book by James Baldwin: Fifty Famous People Or this one by Hamilton Wright Mabie: Heroes Every Child Should Know Even if you don't care for these books, the people suggested might help you create a list for finding newer books about them. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
