Reflections, Advice, & Thank You's

We asked the students 3 questions:

1) Why do we learn about history?

2) What advice do you have for future historical fiction writers?

3) What was challenging about our New Amsterdam unit and how did you overcome that challenge?

Please look through the slideshow below for their responses.

We asked our 4th grade students what they would do in this scenario:

There was a conversation around Black Lives Matter and current events. Somebody responded and said, “Why are you talking to kids about that? Kids should not be involved or learn about that.” What would your response be?

See below for their responses.

Join us to write letters of gratitude/appreciation/thanks and show our COVID-19 healthcare workers and essential workers that as long as they continue to serve, we will continue to support them. This is our opportunity for action! See the slideshow below for their letters.
