I was so excited today when one of our EAs (thanks Laura) at school sent me the link to the Google Doodle after she had been in our class a month ago during social studies.  We were learning about Buffalo Bill and the Pony Express.  Buffalo Bill is a delightful character for the children to learn about.  This book introduces Buffalo Bill at a young age with the beginning of the Pony Express.  I enjoy having discussions with my students regarding the letters Bill would write to his mom telling of his adventures and whether or not he was depicting what truly happened in his day.
