Our next SSTLN meeting will be February 24th at HCTC. This will be a hard day of working with the new Social Studies standards. You might bring a laptop to do some of the work. More info will come by email. See you then!

WONDERFUL RESOURCE The US Holocaust Memorial Museum offers an online experience, “Some Were Neighbors” to explore the role of “onlookers”” during the Holocaust…those who helped the victims and those who helped the Nazis. Includes teacher resources for lessons on analyzing images, etc.
