Underground Railroad + Harriet Tubman Readers Theater

Students research Harriet Tubman for readers theater

We have been studying the Southeast Region this week, and began to work on our Harriet Tubman Reader’s Theater.  The kids are getting excited, and we are hoping to put on the show for another classroom.  I will make a youtube video and add it to my youtube channel.  If you haven’t subscribed to my youtube channel yet, that would be a good thing to do as you’ll get email updates of what’s going on in class and math tips of the day.  You can unsubscribe at any time.    Just search youtube for MrBraymer and it should come up. 

We will also begin our unit on fractions this week, students typically struggle with fraction concepts so any help you can afford at home is much appreciated.
