Alabama

Alabama State Flag



We finished up learning about Alabama last week. After learning the geography, symbols, and resources, we learned a bit about the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Civil Rights Movement.



We read biographies about Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and watched the movie Boycott (2001), which told the story behind the boycott, highlighting the work of Dr. King.

Georgia has decided to study Hawaii next. She wants to have a lil "Hawaii Party", so we'll be doing that this weekend.
