COLLABORATIVE LESSON/PROJECT IDEAS

Which SOLs do your students need additional practice with? I can push into your classroom to assist with instruction...

We could compare: Halloween (Oct.31) and Day of the Dead (Nov. 1)

- kids make a diorama of relatives they are honoring  []  []  []
 * Tolerance: Comparing Cultural Holidays
 * Let's Travel to Mexico
 * Hispanic Heritage Month

**We could compare the Colonist and the Native American version of what happened that First Thanksgiving.**
[]

Students can learn how to post by responding to a question on the Library Blog. Or - we could set up a Wiki to which students could add items.
