LOOKING FORWARD

On July 30th, 2013 Deb Bell, Amy Carlson-Phillips, Angela Hellmann, and Janine Klaustermeier from Boyceville, Wisconsin will embark on an amazing educational journey to Boston/Plymouth Massachusetts.  Our team was awarded a grant through Funds for Teachers in order to gather valuable resources and gain knowledge to enhance our educational unit on the "humble beginning" of our country. Our team's focus is to enrich the teaching of Early American History for our second graders at Tiffany Creek Elementary. By spending 8 days in the Boston/Plymouth area, we will document (videos, photographs, journals, and blogs) the experience, learn from experts, be actively involved in workshops, and collect valuable artifacts.  We will be creating a timeline in history project that will bring the past to the present! This opportunity will allow us to instill American pride and a greater understanding of democracy by learning about the beginning of our country! We hope you will enjoy our blog as it outlines the events leading up to, during, and following this opportunity.
