Harriet Tubman

During the month of February the 2^nd and 3^rd graders spent time studying the Underground Railroad for Black History Month.  We learned about a slave named Walter and what his life was like living on a plantation and then his journey to become free.  Another person that we studied about was Harriet Tubman.  The students worked hard to learn their lines to do a readers theater about Harriet Tubman.  I am very proud of the fantastic job the students did in learning their lines and getting into their characters.  We put on the play for the whole school last Tuesday and then on Wednesday parents and grandparents were invited to come and watch the play.  It was great to see so many parents and grandparents come and watch.
