Last Saturday, my family visited Washington D.C. during the height of the healthcare debate. While we decided not to take the girls to the rally, we did visit the National Archives. Isabella, my 8 year old, was very impressed with seeing the Constitution.
Children can build their understanding of history, and politics through such experiences but more important to this, is the opportunity for them to do social justice work.
I came across a link for Heifer International. We will begin using this to help us, "understand and appreciate the connections between people, their actions and the environment. Help your students discover that they have the power to change the world."
