Dear
Families of Junior High students,
It
is my pleasure to delve into West Virginia History with your kids and mine
this
year! I have learned a few things about
my adopted state, and I will know a whole lot more when we finish this
course. We all will!
Here's
how I could use some help: Do you or
yours have any stories about life in West Virginia that could be shared with
the students? Farming, coal mining, growing
up stories that may be in your family history may seem commonplace to you but
would really enhance our class time.
Please consider coming in to share anything West Virginian with this
class!
Another
way to help: please send in the research report your child did last year in
writing class. I would like to have
these shared aloud with the class.
Lastly,
on Friday September 7, Coal Country Mini-Golf is open at 3 pm and is
giving
us $1 off admission to play after our THESIS day. If you have not played here, you'll like that
every hole is constructed from coal mining equipment! This will be a fun way to
kick off our class!
Warmly,
Liz
DeRoos, for THESIS
