Boone Hall Plantation in Charleston, SC

We've been studying the Civil War and last weekend my husband and I took a trip to Charleston.  While we were there we went on a tour of one of the most historic plantations in the South.  I promised my students that I would share with them the pics from our trip.

 Boone Hall Plantation

 Entrance way

 Smokehouse

 Cotton Gin

 Field of cotton

 Pecan trees lined the long driveway.  The original owner's son actually planted all these trees knowing he would never see how they looked now since it takes a century for them to fully develop.  He had an awesome vision. :)

 So pretty!

 I recommend this tour for you and your family if you are ever in Mt. Pleasant, Charleston.

This is an actual slave cabin.  The family had 20 + slave cabins but only 9 original cabins are still standing.

Rock & Read

We enjoyed a visit this past week to the library where we took some time to "rock" and read for a little while.  The students loved being able to sit in a rocking chair, relax, and cozy up with a good book.

Celebrating SC Palmetto Day!

To celebrate this day in SC, each student used a template to create a palmetto tree project.  I was very impressed with them, and the fact that ALL my students participated in this extra credit project.  To reward their hard work, each students received extra credit in their weakest subject area.

Read Aloud to prep us for PASS testing

We had the privilege of having Rex's mom, Mrs. Barnett come down to our room to read a book to us.  The name of the book is Hooray For Diffendoofer Day and Dr. Seuss died before finishing it, so Jack Prelutsky actually finished it.  This book does a great job with reminding students how hard we've worked all year to prepare, and how they are "ready to take the big test!" :)  Thank you Mrs. Barnett for not only reading this to our class, but allowing us to keep it to enjoy for a few days. :) 

St. Patrick's Day Celebration

Last Monday, we celebrated St. Patrick's day with leprechaun shakes and made rainbows with pots of gold (Skittles and Rolos.)  Students really enjoyed making these edible treats!

 First they got treats (I'm so "Lucky" to have you in my classroom)  from Mrs. P :)
