Welcome back from Spring Break. Our pea sprouts have graduated to “baby plant” status over the rainy and sunny week according to the kids. And it looks like many of them have done an equivalent amount of growing.
This week we will be starting a new History unit on the history of Japanese Americans in Oregon. We will use resources from Densho.org a grassroots online eudcation forum. Please take some time to peruse their resources at
http://www.densho.org/core-story/ so you can join our class conversation about the resilience and struggles faced by the Japanese American community. We will also be trying to make connections to current events, so take some time to talk about the news! Students will develop their own culminating projects about the unit of study from a menu of choices.
Thanks,
Mark
