I love the idea of using photos of family members who have or are serving in the military to begin the conversation. <br />Definitely, need to revisit these ideas next year! <br /><br />I love the collaborative plan development here(*_*)Deb Frazierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357198767241625023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1372379768872379712.post-91390640948934220932011-12-11T09:47:38.705-05:002011-12-11T09:47:38.705-05:00Deb,

Here are some other titles I like to use:<br /><br />- "When I Was Young in the Mountains" by Cynthia Rylant <br />-"Little House on the Prairie" picture book series<br />-Places "Then and Now" First Step Nonfiction Series (school, home, communication, transportation)<br /><br />Now to play with that "artifact" piece. I think there is a lot of potential there. Mandy told me about having students bring in pictures of relatives that had served/were serving in the military on Veteran's Day. She talked about how interested students were in these family stories. Perhaps next year this would be a good way/place/time to start this conversation. <br /><br />Thanks for keeping me thinking (and purposeful),<br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1372379768872379712.post-11077647513117123342011-11-27T21:52:17.369-05:002011-11-27T21:52:17.369-05:00I love this thinking and is something I needed as ...I love this thinking and is something I needed as I wrap my head around the new curricula. This is so purposeful and intentional, I have to file this away for next year. Just to say it again, I love it!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082337415906808358noreply@blogger.com
