    Do you have a section with the various Virginia maps we use?

  2.   lisapennington Says:

    Not yet, but it’s something I’ll work on!

  3.   Rhonda Glazner Says:

    Can you email me a copy of the QAD questions that isn’t read only so that I can paste the questions and graphics into the ppts I use to teach with? I need the graphics and it is easier to copy them off of the document you created than to search for them.

    This site is great-thanks for your hard work!!

  4.   Rhonda Glazner Says:

    Is the 4th grade pacing guide made for the 08-09 calendar?

  5.   lisapennington Says:

    It is. I uploaded the wrong pacing guide, thank you for noticing. I’ve fixed it now and the 08-09 pacing guide is up there. Sorry!

  6.   Anonymous Says:

    Congratulations on receiving the grant. I’d be intereseted in seeing your proposal–so I would know how to do one in the future.

  7.   lisapennington Says:

    Thank you! If you let me know a good time for you, I don’t mind bringing it by and showing you! Just shoot me an e-mail.

  8.   Rhonda Glazner Says:

    I am unsure of the answer for a QAD question for this week.

    this is what I think please let me know if this is the correct answer:

    What are three common links to all of Virginia major rivers?

    a. The rivers provided a pathway of exploration and settlement.

    b. The river provided a source of transportation.

    c. The rivers provided a source of food.

  9.   Nancy Ruben Says:

    You have a wonderful blog!!! How do I show the power points on this blog to the class? Do I have to show them from your screen or can I save them somehow?

    Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

  10.   Lori Richards Says:

    Thanks so much for the Vocab Review for VS7! I love to use those for reteaching and review!

    Thanks again!

  11.   Kelly Baer Says:

    Hello! I am a 4th grade teacher in Salem, VA. I was wondering if the graphics on your foldables were copywrited, or if I might be able to use some? I am planning to do a project with VA History using PhotoStory where the students give a summary of the bullets for VS2-VS7 using pictures. They will also be able to record their voices to describe the pictures. I’m having trouble finding the maps and some graphics. Please let me know if I am able to use some of the graphics you have published here. I’ll be happy to provide a link to the project so you can see how the graphics are used. Thank you!

  12.   Shannon West-Turner Says:

    This blog is the bomb!
    I use it all the time and love the activities.

  13.   Rhonda Glazner Says:

    Thanks for all the hard work you do. I use this site at least three or more times a week!

  14.   lisapennington Says:

    Thanks guys! I’m glad you find it useful!

  15.   Aliceyn Applewhite Says:

    I appreciate all the materials that are available on the blog. I use ths website many times during the week.

  16.   Donna Tarpinian Says:

    Is there a way to print the cards for 1, 2, 3 vice using 96 sheets of paper? The games are great for reviewing in groups. Thanks to you and Sarah!

  17.   Meredith Barlow Says:

    WOW!! Wonderful Webiste with lots of resources. I greatly appreciate all your work in gathering this information. Do you have a review card for VS.9? If so, I’d love to use it for SOL review.

  18.   Laura Ellis Says:

    Thanks for the File Folder Games and the foldables for VS 9!

  19.   Sarah Says:

    Meredith ~ I do not have one made yet, please check back in about a week, I’ll have time to get it together by then!!

  20.   Laurie Says:

    Lisa,

    Is there a review card for VS.9? That’s the only one I couldn’t find. Again, thanks for all of your help! This website is EXTREMELY useful!!!!

  21.   Meredith Says:

    Thanks for the updated material for VS.9 and VS.10! My kids also love the “I Have Who Has” games. Having a game for each SOL is especially helpful. Do you have “I Have Who Has” games for VS.5, VS.6, VS.7, VS.8, VS.9, and VS.10? Again, thanks for all your hard work!

  22.   Laura Ellis Says:

    Picking up my questions of the day. Thanks!

  23.   Sarah Says:

    Meredith ~ unfortunately, I started and never got back to finishing up the curriculum. I don’t have time to finish it now, but I will work on it after we SOL test in May, check back in the summer!

  24.   Chris McElraft Says:

    This is a great site. If you look at my site, I have created a couple slideshows using the PowerPoints from Rockingham Counties Website. They are located in the Virginia Studies section of my site: http://cmcelraft.edublogs.org/virginia-studies-corner/

    Yhanks for all your help.

  25.   lisapennington Says:

    Hi Chris~

    Thanks for sharing your site! I hope all of our teachers in Portsmouth check it out. Thanks again!

  26.   Beth Forrester Says:

    Hi Lisa,

    Unfortunately I just found your site this week, but can’t wait to start incorporating into my curriculum next year! Thanks for all of your work and for sharing your ideas and resources, UNBELIEVABLE!!!

  27.   lisapennington Says:

    Hi Beth,

    Glad you found us, and hopefully you’ll find something useful! Thanks!

  28.   Laura Ellis Says:

    Several weeks ago, Lani Anderson and I attended the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation Summer Teacher Institute, and it was amazing!!! We were treated like royalty, and everything we needed was at our fingertips. We attended lectures on the Virginia Indians, Indentured Servitute, Slavery, and others. We went on tours of both the Jamestown and Yorktown historical sites and museums. The highlight of the week for me was becoming an actual costumed interpreter on site at the Jamestown Settlement. This was one of those teacher changing/life changing experiences and I would highly recommend it to ANY teacher of social studies. The institute for next year has already been funded, so look for the application information! The only money I spent from my pocket was the money I spent in the gift shop, and there was even a discount for that!!

  29.   lisapennington Says:

    That’s great Laura! I’m glad you had a good time, I can’t wait to hear more about it!

  30.   Vanessa Says:

    Thank you for making my job a lot easier this year. Lisa. I have been given the opportunity to teach Virginia Studies again and I have found this web site to be most helpful.
    Thanks also go out to Sarah for supplying me with power points to help with teaching. You guys are the greatest! Now, I need to know if there is a time line of events for Virginia Studies. If so, where can I find it?
