Teaching America 250 with Swank Educational Streaming....One You Won't Want To Miss, Friends!

I added a very special resource to the America's 250th Anniversary Padlet where I have been pulling together resources for libraries, teacher, students, and everyone to use as we celebrate and learn together.

This resource is from our friends at Swank Educational Streaming. 

When you go to Teaching America 250 with Swank Educational Streaming you will find an amazing video resource for schools to help us plan, teach, and learn with our students and school community. 

As shared on this page, you will find four strategies for teaching the 250th with short scenes and moments, and four thematic chapters showing how these strategies play out at every grade level. 

I spent time this morning looking through the videos and lesson ideas they have included. I can't wait to bring these to our students and classrooms this fall as we celebrate. 

You will find Teaching America 250 with Swank Educational Streaming here and on the Padlet under two categories.
