Come join Mrs. Rebecca in this class to learn about how ordinary children, like you, made an extraordinary difference in our nation.

In this lesson, students will learn about the Little Rock Nine from Central High in Little Rock, Arkansas.  We will begin by learning about school segregation, which was finally declared unconstitutional with Brown v. Board of Education.  From there, students will learn how many schools in the south ignored the Supreme Court ruling.  They will also learn how political leaders became road blocks for school integration.  

The lesson will progress to the actual series of events involving the nine students who successfully attended Central High School.  We will read about how brave they were when mistreated by white students.  We will learn about some of their accomplishes later in life.  

All through class, we will read informative texts, and Mrs. Rebecca will facilitate discussion about the topic.  Students will be encouraged, but not required, to participate in our discussions all through class.  

This class is recommended for kids in grades 4-8
