Recently Rich Cairn posted something that caught my eye and I thought it might be useful in this group.  Many of you may have seen the post but I though I would add the link here.  In his post Rich linked some materials that contained a lesson for Kindergarten.  I have always felt that there is so much potential for using primary source documents with TK-2 students so anytime I see resources designed for students in this range I get pretty excited.  Hopefully it will be useful to members of this group. Look for the lesson, What Do Trains Do? Exploring Local History Through Maps.  Thanks!

    Very cool! Thanks Raul, my friend! This is just what I needed as I lack lesson ideas for early grade levels. I will be presenting a session on primary sources and connection to critical thinking at my district PD for K-5 in Feb.
