In social studies our students have been exploring the concept of "migration of people groups". Specifically we have looked at the movement of African American slaves from the south to the north during the 1700's and 1800's. During this time period many slaves escaped to the north and to Canada on the Underground Railroad. One of the great books we read was Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt. Then the students made their own freedom quilt. If you'd like to experience the book you can check it out on YouTube by clicking here.
