Stepping back in time to experience history where it happened! Bringing knowledge back to the classroom to make Yorktown come to life for my students!! @KEDC1 @KEDCGrants @passport2lead @DrJWEvansJr @KingWendy_m

Exploring Jamestown Settlement today was an incredible way to bring history to life! I’m excited to take back hands-on artifact investigations and compare-and-contrast activities to help my kindergarten students connect life long ago to life today. @passport2lead @KingWendy_m

My students will love learning about how the Powhatan used natural resources! Did you know they used deer brains to preserve deer hides? What a great opportunity for hands on learning minus the deer brains. @KEDCGrants @usedgov @passport2lead @DrJWEvansJr @jmattrock1 @KingWendy_m

Loved exploring the Powhatan way of life at Jamestown Settlement! I can’t wait to share what I learned about their traditions and culture with my students and allow them to create their very own longhouses! @KEDCGrants @passport2lead @usedgov @jyfmuseums

Day 3 with @KEDCGrants was filled with history! 🇺🇸 We explored both Yorktown & Jamestown, where America’s story began & where independence was ultimately secured. Walking these historic sites brought the events & sacrifices that shaped our nation to life. @passport2lead

Despite the rain, we had a great day at Colonial Williamsburg! I can’t wait to have my 5th graders compare this globe from the 1500’s & map from the 1700’s to our globes & maps in order to discuss how technology has changed over time! @colonialwmsburg @KEDCGrants @passport2lead

[Cindy Smith @SmithCindyl]

Today’s visit to Yorktown was very informative! Now, I will be able to go back to my classroom with information when we discuss the difference in life now & other time periods. Thank you @KEDCGrants for this experience! @DrJWEvansJr @KingWendy_m @passport2lead @jmattrock1

They’ve stood in the governors palace, the capital, and watched an Army soldier load and shoot a musket—@passport2lead has been learning non-stop! @KEDCGrants
