Ever have one of THOSE days?

Today, we knocked out some serious work.  I mean, we got stuff done.

It's a good thing, because we are about done boring these students with all this Regions of Texas talk.  It's time to get onto the good stuff.

Tomorrow, we truly go time travelling, backwards.  15,000 years or so, to be precise.

It's hard to imagine, but we have evidence about humans roaming our great state around 13,500 BC.  

So, it's our job to take our students there.

We will start by discussing hieroglyphics, something they learned about last year(right, 6th grade teachers?) and then show pictographs from Paint Rock, TX.  These are very old, yet descriptive painting left by the earliest natives.  There is no language, just pictures of everyday existence.

And then, we'll challenge our students to create their own pictographic messages for archaeologists to decipher in, oh, 15,000 years.

So, if you are ever having one of those days....write about it.  Hide it in the nearest cave, and maybe just maybe, some 7th grader will read about it in their highly entertaining and fascinating History class.

What do you want the future to know about your life?

Peace
