Today in my fourth grade class, students took two final exams, spelling & grammar. This took up our morning and then the kids got to go relax and have fun in gym. The third graders put on a play which we attended after lunch. In social studies, we continued our discussion of slavery & the underground railroad. We read a related story out of our reading anthology entitled "My Brother Martin". It was a short biography written by Martin Luther King Jr.'s sister. I had the students compare/contrast the old issues of slavery during the Civil War era to the more modern concept of civil rights.
