New Jersey battled the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918. There are many parallels to today's coronavirus crisis as well as a lesson to be learned from Newark's mayor at the time.

Preparing his students for starting Hero of the Empire by ⁦@candice_millard,⁩ Mr. Pawlowski leads his ⁦@EBCJHS⁩ students on an in school field trip to the main office so that they can read why we are Churchill Junior High. A simple but great idea.

My students especially enjoyed the hands-on document based activity: “Who’s the Victor?” They researched Edison and Victrola phonographs, played them and had a debate over which product was better! @ThomasEdisonNHP

Thanks to @NPSEducation Ranger Shemaine for hosting my students @ThomasEdisonNHP earlier this week. We enjoyed getting to experience firsthand where Edison and his employees researched and developed many of the things we use each day.

One of our favorite holiday items is this Thomas Nast cartoon of Santa in front of the White House chimney and the stockings of the Roosevelt children. Mast, a political cartoonist, is better known for creating the modern image of Santa Claus. Original: ow.ly/7KrF30q2unZ

Today, students were given 10 minutes to “show me what they know” before the assessment and I told them I would not erase the info. The collaboration and discussion was incredible. What an inspiring mess! Awesome job!
