On Tuesday in Mrs. Reinacher's class we do station's and on Tuesday we went to Guided Lesson, where we worked with Mrs. Reinacher. On Tuesday we learned about the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In my Social Studies textbook it basically said Thomas Jefferson wrote it and then the council or whatever said it looked great and published it or whatever they did back then. Anyways Since I was in the play about this and I watched a helpful movie called 1776 that I watched at LIT's house I knew that's not what happened. So since I learned all this helpful information I told Mrs. Reinacher about what I knew. So today on Wednesday with her new Guided Lesson group she told them what I told her while she told my group what the textbook said. GO ME!
By the way I have to give some credit to LIT, thank you.

You are so welcome. I'm so glad you remembered that movie we watched. I love that movie on several levels, part of it being the music, of course. And I'm so glad you were able to communicate that to your teacher, and I'm glad you have a teacher who listened.
Side note: 1776 also shows what happens when you set one person to deliver a document and how a committee waters it down, and how a democracy waters it down even more. I'm not speaking against democracy because loss of some ambitious goals have to be lost for a time in order to gain some others. But as long as it continues working we eventually get to the goal. Sometimes it's painful, but as long as we get there . . . .
Thanks for sharing this story. It makes me feel good.
Love you!
Teaching the teacher--always cool!
You must have a good memory.
