Throw It Out Thursday!

This morning I greeted students with a thought provoking question before starting their morning work! My purpose was to have students think about the things in their life that are truly important to them, but there is also a connection to our upcoming social studies unit, which focuses on the Oregon Trail. We will be studying what life was like in a wagon train, especially for children. Often these kids were leaving the only homes they had ever known to head out West with their families and they had to make tough choices about what to take with them! I loved listening to your kids share what their one PRIZED possession was - stuffed animals and blankets from when they were born, favorite books and yes, even PlayStations!

What would be your ONE prized possession? Share below!
