Social Studies

We continued our study of slavery and history this week. The students shared their reflection projects and began discussing important dates throughout history, specifically those involved in civil rights. We also read a great book called Almost to Freedom by Vaunda Micheaux Nelson which tells the story of a slave girl escaping to freedom through the perspective of her doll. Next week we will continue exploring our thoughts about slavery and civil rights through great literature, and the students will have an opportunity to act out some of the courageous stories they have heard.
