Freedom Week

This week at school is Freedom Week.  Friday we are having an assembly, and every grade is supposed to be doing something special to learn and represent freedom week.  My unit is on Arkansas History and so I had found this idea, which I shared in an earlier post, that I was planning on doing on a smaller scale for my kids, and another class I teach Social Studies too.  But since the Interns had to head up Freedom Week, we decided to do this for all of 1st grade.  So we had 111 kids I think in all.  Well...today, we finished it!!  The kids were SOOOO proud of it, and they absolutely loved helping us make it.  I must say though, that I am glad to be finished.  Staying on the concrete floor on your knees for hours at a time got rough after a while...but it was well worth it.  We will have this hung for the assembly on Friday and 1st grade will present it to one of the people in the community.  I am so very proud of my boys and girls.  What a team...

The Finished Product!!

Still working on it (:

Just Starting Out!
