Assignment

I can't believe we are already into week four! I loved all of the amazing information we learned in our week long session (althougth I wish I had that last week of summer, too !!)  The thing that I loved the most was the "American Hero's" lessons.  I really found value in making sure the kids know who shaped our country.  I have brought Hero's into the classroom, by introducing our "Eagle Way" Character Traits through Hero's.  I created a Glogster of Clara Barton and had her represent 'Courtesy'. The kids now mention her often and have other examples of the things she has done to show courtesy.  They also were able to connect her to the world around her because I provided a link to the American Red Cross.  There is a You-Tube video link to what the Red Cross does today.  I was so excited to use what we learned and add the technology piece to the lesson.
