Lesson Plans for November 14-18

     The field trip to the Archives and History was great!  Our students got to participate in hands-on activities like grinding corn and making designs in pottery.  The Indian gallery taught us many things about Alabama Indians of long ago.
     We had a treat on Wednesday as Margaret Hixon, Josh Hixon's grandmother, talked with our class about olden days.  She brought many artifacts from the past.  The students got to pair up and discuss what the object was and how it was used.  Mrs. Hixon was a former school teacher and she worked at Old Alabama town writing curriculum, teaching classes and teaching seminars for teachers.  She is still a wonderful teacher!
