DISCOVERY: time to play with lots and lots of soldiers, create own battles, or sort by color
LITERATURE: "Susanna of the Alamo" by John Jakes
To enhance our story, the kids used keva planks and wooden blocks to create an Alamo fort. We then had them strategically place soldiers in and around the fort. Four major people we talked about were: Santa Ana (the Mexican general), Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, and Sam Houston.
MUSIC: Erie Canal, surprise song, continued with notes and rhythms
PROJECT: Alamo facade with edible elements
Questions to ask: What do they remember about the Alamo? What were the people fighting for?
Who was Santa Ana?
