My thoughts on the paintings...

I have never seen these paintings before! But, I am guessing they represent important moments in history, or traditions. Such as the dinner table painting and how it is important to spend time with family. Also, the first painting where the people are admiring the man standing up, that could represent that he did something that took a lot of courage.

Explore: Teaching With Primary Sources

This video contains an abundance of information on how to teach with primary sources and I will definitely be bookmarking this for my future use. I think primary sources have a lot to offer when teaching social studies to young children.

Explain/Apply: 

I really enjoyed the Artifact Bag Project and I think it is a great assignment to incorporate into my future classroom. This is a great way to teach history hands-on and engaging as students will be curious as to, "what's in the bag?"

I enjoyed the teachers introductions and liked how the beginning of their lesson got the students thinking what the lesson could be about. For group work, the teachers pre-selected groups for students to complete the task with directions given, and teachers observed the groups. Group work demonstrated social skills and it seemed to have went well. While watching informational videos and listening to the teachers explain about the Texas Revolution, students were responsible to take their own notes. At the end of the lesson, students presented their work and did a great job! I enjoy seeing their work and hearing what they have to say. There were a lot
