Hey, @FESpanthers 4th grade parents! Have your student check Google Classroom for my full video and to learn more about the Kansas Nebraska Act, the Dred Scott v. Sanford decision, and John Brown’s Raid on Harper’s Ferry. All important events leading up to the Civil War!

Hey @FESpanthers 4th grade parents! Another enrichment activity has been posted in Google Classroom! Students will learn the significance the Missouri Compromise, the Compromise of 1850 and the publication of Uncle Tom’s Cabin played in events leading up to the Civil War.

Hey @FESpanthers 4th grade parents! Today we will learn about four abolitionists who worked to end to slavery. Have your student check Google Classroom for my full video and links to learn more about Fredrick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and William Lloyd Garrison!

Great reminders as we navigate our new normal as educators and strive to maintain successful connections with our students.

@FESpanthers 4th grade parents: a new mini lesson on the sectional differences between the North and South before the Civil War has been posted to Google Classroom. They can also explore a fun, interactive map that goes into more detail on Mr. Nussbaum!

@DavidLandreth11 @FESpanthers @WittHeather Thank you! I miss my students so much and want us to be able to stay connected :)

[Heather Whitt @WhittHeather]

@FESpanthers 4th grade parents: Have your students check their email for a message from me and a science activity connecting what we had learned in the clasroom to Songbird Trail! I miss my students and hope to see them soon!

Correction: The Craighead Cavern is in Sweetwater, TN. No idea where Stillwater came from! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Heather Whitt @WhittHeather]

@FESpanthers 4th grade parents! Have your student check Google Classroom to view the full video from me and an activity inspired by the Day 3 ReadWorks article Carlsbad Caverns. Students will discover lots of interesting facts about the Craighead Cavern (The Lost Sea) in East TN!

Story time from space! During this season of at home learning, this resource allows your student to read along as astronauts from the international space station read stories inspired by science. 🚀

More great websites! Several of these sites are offering free access during this season of at home learning (Brain Pop/Brain Pop Jr, Newsela, and Mystery Science), Spelling City has a user code, and the rest are always free for students to enjoy :)

[Heather Whitt @WhittHeather]

Some great websites to enhance your students at learning experience!

[Heather Whitt @WhittHeather]

At TDE’s Science Teacher Training. Exploring the Mariner Valley through the use of play dough. These type of lessons always make my teacher heart happy!

Finished up our Jurassic World experience by examining and making inferences from trace and body fossils 🦕🦖 #setthestagetoengage

[Heather Whitt @WhittHeather]

Jurassic World: Mission 2. Students prepped for the math TCAP by perfecting their test taking strategies. In science, students got their hands dirty and sifted through “Dino Doo” to examine and compare trace and body fossils. It was a good day to be a 5th Grade Paleontologist!

[Heather Whitt @WhittHeather]

Jurassic World: Mission 1. My intern did a great job creating learning stations in which students recognized and analyzed specific dinosaurs and whether their traits were influences by heredity or the environment. It was a great day of collaborative learning!

[Heather Whitt @WhittHeather]

The stage to engage has been set :) Fifth graders will spend the rest of the week preparing to rock the TCAP Jurassic World style! 🦖
