EVERYTHING HAS A HISTORY:

A BUNDLE of RESOURCES

Use these resource to share with kids that history is all around us. This topic would be a great beginning of the year or end of the year activity.

This got the discussion started that even THEY have a personal history. I shared my Pinkie, a stuffed dog, that was my very favorite childhood toy( which I still have).
