Mrs. Austin's Newsletter
We have been leaving about Reconstrution in social studies and this week we focused on changes in farming such as sharecropping. The picture above show the 5th graders running laps to earn "money" from the landowners. The students (sharecroppers) completed their running work for very little pay which led to a class discussion these changes in farming. everyone was exhausted from running but gained a better understanding of what it would be like to a sharecropper working on a plantation.
