Next week we are going to create new Google Search Stories on the topic of immigrants to Kansas. Each pair of students will be assigned a group to research. They will "search" where the group came from, where they settled in Kansas, why they left their homeland, why they came to Kansas, what they found when they came to Kansas and when they came to Kansas. We will use the Read Kansas cards from the Kansas State Historical Society for our research. If we didn't have two district assessments pressing on us we would do more research and probably some other activities with the information. (Don't get me started on all of the assessments and the time they take from learning.)

I've taught 2nd - 5th grade. My last 2 years of teaching were in 4th grade and involved a TRC (Technology Rich Classroom) grant. This blog started out as a journal through that process. Now the blog is my way of easing out of teaching. If you try one of the ideas and tweak it, let me know! Most of my ideas are based on fourth grade, however, I believe most can be adapted to other grade levels.
