Perspectives Change... Students were shocked to find out what followed the peaceful times at Bent's Fort. We created a timeline to track the following events about the Gold Rush, Bent's Fort, the Treaty of Fort Wise, Cheyenne "dog soldiers" fighting back, and then the Sand Creek Massacre. We are building knowledge about these events to analyze how perspectives and actions changed.  Students traveled does the timeline... When revisiting the guiding questions, students have made some great progress into thinking deeply about multiple perspectives and how perspectives influence actions. Guiding Questions: 1. What makes a perspective? 2. What might cause a perspective to change? 3. In what ways does cause and effect impact actions and relationships? Hand prints: A Renaissance Tradition... Every May, students put a hand print on their drum to mark the passing of a school year. It is hard to believe that my time with this wonderful crew is coming to an end! The following pictures warm my heart... :)
