Most people don’t realize John Wilkes Booth never faced trial for killing Lincoln. Or that 4 people were hanged and JWB wasn’t one of them.

Ever wonder what was in Lincoln’s pockets when he passed away? Today, kids were examining the various artifacts found on him at his death without knowing who they belonged to. They had to draw conclusions after analyzing the evidence. 🍎🗺️ #sschat

One of my favorite projects of the yr: March Madness Bracket covering the many trigger events of the Civil War. Each topic had to be connected back to slavery and they had to convince their classmates to vote for them.
Winners got candy/gift cards.
*you can do this with any topic!!*

If you happen to be in the heartland, make sure you stop in at the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City. It’s so well done, with some artifacts on loan from the Smithsonian.

Whenever I’m in DC with students, a stop at the MLK memorial is a guarantee. The quotes, the peacefulness of the space, the idea that we’ve come a long way as a country but we still have room to grow.
Look for ways to serve others. Be kind. And carry hope always.
