Students constructed ziggurats, structures from ancient Mesopotamia, using Minecraft, Tinkercad, pencils/paper, and other physical mediums. All were fantastic but I'd say this one takes the cake! 😉 #stayWILD #HowellsTeachesHistory

Students used map pins to plot their states and countries of origin on our classroom map and then drew maps of important places in their lives. Maybe maps aren't so boring after all! 😉 #stayWILD

Fascinating!

Students simulated building The Great Wall of China, complete with invasions, disease, and confusion. The blocks were a hit! #HowellsTeachesHistory #stayWILD

The last presidential election turned on fewer than 100,000 votes in three states. More people go to Coachella. There’s no good excuse not to vote. Head over to https://t.co/zTCemnRMYV to check your registration, get your absentee ballot, and find out where to vote on November 6.

Thanks to all of my wonderful parents who attended @WillardLCPS Back to School Night! It was great to meet you and I truly appreciate being a part of your child's education!

Students practiced their cuneiform writing skills using clay and wedge styluses from ancient Mesopotamia (aka Playdoh and toothpicks from Target). #HowellsTeachesHistory #stayWILD

What a happy coincidence when your students are learning about GRAPES in history and bring grapes as a snack. #HowellsTeachesHistory

Spent my Saturday presenting at #SVWP annual Write to Learn Conference at Shenandoah University. What an excellent day and I have so many ideas that I can't wait to take back to my classroom.

Today we traveled to Catal Huyuk, where students participated in a "dig" to discover what life was like in a Neolithic settlement. Mr. Kim stopped by and a huge thanks to @jarounsley for bringing me shredded paper to hide the artifacts in. #HowellsTeachesHistory #stayWILD

More pictures of hominids, using a variety of artistic mediums. #history #stayWILD

[Jennifer Howells @mrsjhowells]

Today, students drew pictures of early humans, or hominids. They did a great job! #history #stayWILD

[Jennifer Howells @mrsjhowells]

Busy getting the classroom ready for my new students. I can't wait to meet you and I hope you're as excited as I am! #welcome2willard #stayWILD
