Activities to Motivate and Engage

We are making cookies as a result of a field trip to a sugar plantation museum where they used a wood stove to cook the sugar cookies served to us. We happened to visit this museum on the last day of operation for the only remaining sugar mill on the island. Thus ended a 120 year old industry, and jobs for many of our students' parents or relatives. The photo on the left is our display of yarn-art Revolutionary flags and where they were designed. We had been reading and learning about the Constitution and other documents of the time.
