All this happened before I was born.

We might not have electricity, we might still be own by Britain, we wouldn't have phones or lightbulbs, Texas would still be apart of Mexico, whites and blacks would be going to different schools!

We explored in Epic today. It was great fun! Check it out at home. You should have gotten an email yesterday!

We explored with Lincoln logs and then had to figure out why we did that. 

This lead us to a conversation about Abraham Lincoln.

We also learned about Martin Luther King Jr. today.

Martin Luther King Jr. got us talking about Rosa Parks. She is in these 'She Persisted' books. Another amazing conversation about people who do important things and how they change the lives WE live. Mrs. Graves' teared up quite a few times reading about these amazing women!!

One of my favorite activities of the year. 

Look at these 2 eggs. 

What's the same about them?

What's different?

Now break open the eggs!
