Exploring Jamestown Settlement today was an incredible way to bring history to life! I’m excited to take back hands-on artifact investigations and compare-and-contrast activities to help my kindergarten students connect life long ago to life today. @passport2lead @KingWendy_m

My students will love learning about how the Powhatan used natural resources! Did you know they used deer brains to preserve deer hides? What a great opportunity for hands on learning minus the deer brains. @KEDCGrants @usedgov @passport2lead @DrJWEvansJr @jmattrock1 @KingWendy_m

Loved exploring the Powhatan way of life at Jamestown Settlement! I can’t wait to share what I learned about their traditions and culture with my students and allow them to create their very own longhouses! @KEDCGrants @passport2lead @usedgov @jyfmuseums

Despite the rain, we had a great day at Colonial Williamsburg! I can’t wait to have my 5th graders compare this globe from the 1500’s & map from the 1700’s to our globes & maps in order to discuss how technology has changed over time! @colonialwmsburg @KEDCGrants @passport2lead
