Class build: butterflies! Ss read poems written by children of the Terezin concentration camp. They create a butterfly to represent the child. In the end, Ss will discover whether “their” child survived. If not, theirs will be cut down. A powerful image that lasts a long time.

@aferrellwriter @WreckaCenter The Lexie isn’t very high, but I feel like that’s deceptive because the thematic concepts are really lofty. It’s a great book.

@Canuckmummy @WreckaCenter Son broke me. What a beautiful book.

@HistoryNewbie Aww, Newbs! We miss you!

[Amy Lee @MrsLeesMusings]

@LitMomTruthBomb @scotteabbott Absolutely. And what about AAAALLLLL the research saying that a good portion of comprehension is related to background knowledge…and what do SS and science build?

[Amy Lee @MrsLeesMusings]

@scotteabbott @socialstudiestx As a sixth grade history teacher, this explains so much.

@domesticetch I had an older lady ask to share my table at the Smithsonian American Museum. But then she sat down and we had a lovely 30 minute conversation. As it should be.

@offgridteacher @lanham_johanna In FL in the 80s, we actually had a TV show they would show us in school that taught us how.

[Amy Lee @MrsLeesMusings]

@CathyHSNorCal @offgridteacher @juliairzyk I used to work at a private school where it was taught in kindergarten and up. It’s actually not as difficult as it seems, and as I understand it, research shows it’s more aligned with early motor skills than print,
