Students explore history is not as a listing of dates, wars, and leaders but as the story of real people whose lives were impacted by the events of their time. They complete a pedigree chart and tape record a family member.

Students describe the characters and the importance of symbolism in "To Kill A Mockingbird". They develop symbols that represent themselves and their school as well. They present these symbols on a poster and show them to their classmates.

Students explore the story of the Little Red Hen. They listen to and discuss the story, create puppets and retell the story, and make bread using a bread in a bag recipe.
