BI-LO is launching a new and innovative free field trip initiative chain wide called the BI-LO Food Detectives Program, which is focused on helping children make healthy eating choices. Throughout the experience, children will participate in engaging activities that help them learn about the power of produce, the principles of the USDA’s MyPlate initiative, understanding shelf and nutrition labeling and how whole grains, vitamins and minerals benefit the body.

Since grocery stores are the primary source for all food needs and one of the most visited destinations in American life, BI-LO believes it is the perfect opportunity to educate children to make the choice to eat right for their personal health and wellness.

How cool would a field trip to the Apple Store be? Way cooler than a trip to the local kite flying school that we took when we were kids.

Our Store. Their time to shine.

Take your students — or your fellow teachers — on a Field Trip to an Apple Store for an unforgettable learning experience. Students can create something amazing right on the spot, or they can bring in projects they’ve already created and turn the store into their theater.

Just For Teachers: FREE Civil War Poster Available From TeachingHistory.org

October 5, 2011 by Leave a Comment

What can a quilt, a map, some photographs, a haversack, and a receipt tell you about the past?  Thanks to Teachinghistory.org’s new FREE poster, “How Do You Piece Together the History of the Civil War?,” these objects can teach a lot about the Civil War and about how historians piece together the past.

For more like this, read Just FREEBIES.

This 24 x 36 inch poster features an engaging collage of primary sources and related questions that get students thinking about how we know what we know about the past, especially in relation to our country’s most devastating conflict, the Civil War.  The question, “How can geography impact a battle?,” accompanies a map of Gettysburg while a slave receipt prompts students to think about the laws, economics, and people involved in the institution of slavery.

As a special bonus for teachers, Teachinghistory.org has created an interactive version of this poster with links to teaching materials and websites related to the Civil War.  Topics include children’s voices during the Civil War, African American perspectives, women’s roles, Civil War era music, and emancipation, as well as military history and life on the battlefield.

This poster and online resources illustrate that it takes many sources and perspectives to develop a rich understanding of the Civil War in all of its complexity.
