A great book and series for CIVICS EDUCATION! Losing is Democratic: How to Talk to Kids About January 6th features a Latina protagonist of spunk and smarts whose congressman father is on the House floor on January 6th. Teachers, Librarians, and Homeschoolers, THE FINA MENDOZA MYSTERIES SERIES of Books, Podcasts, Teacher's Guides, and "Facts Behind the Fiction" newsletter/blog provide a multidisciplinary approach to civics education for elementary school readers. As our amateur detective solves mysteries on Capitol Hill, she and your students learn about American democracy, the electoral process, civic engagement and the events of January 6, 2021. SYNOPSIS: Fina is in the middle of an investigation to find out who stole the 5th grade's pizza-the prize for winning a reading competition. But all thoughts of detection go out the window as she, her older sister Gabby, and grandmother Abuelita watch on television as a mob breaks into the Capitol. Is Papa okay? Most of Fina's classmates have parents who work inside that building as well. Their teacher calms their fears and the next day, turns the event into a teaching opportunity, looking back at the bitter presidential election rivalry between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. The students discuss the importance of winning and losing, whether it's in a baseball game, a reading competition, or an election. THE WEST WING meets NANCY DREW
