I Know

Here we are with most of February past and I am asking myself where has the time gone. There was so much I wanted to do this school year. I am feeling a little lost. I know we still have several months to go. I know after my brief spell of feeling down I will get back to work. I know I will look back at the accomplishments that have been made, even small ones. I know I will persevere and new learning will occur, but for now I am reflecting on what I wish I had done differently.

February Happenings in Social Studies

Sixth grade continues to study the Holocaust. Students are discovering how to relate historical events to their lives. Many are astounded at the horror of this time. I have had students cry, get mad, and display many other emotions. I am using various techniques so all students have a choice in how they learn and present that information. I have had students create anti-hate posters, time lines, and written word to record what they are learning. I will share their Capzules (time lines) later this week.
