Fortunate to have attended top-tier PD sessions highlighting resources from Ken Burns’ new documentary, The American Revolution. Loved learning from experts at the John Carter Brown Library at Brown University, RI PBS, the RI State Archives, and the RI Historical Society.

For Civic Learning Week, my TMS students took a virtual tour of the RI State House with Erin Stevenson, Deputy Director of Civic Education. She guided us through the Rotunda, House & Senate Chambers, and State Library. We appreciate her expertise! @RISecState @ricivics

One day at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, is not enough to take in all the historical exhibits. It was amazing to see the presidential limousines, the Lincoln chair from Ford's Theatre, and the Rosa Parks bus. I can't wait to go back and see more!
