Slavery and the Underground Railroad



          In social studies, we have been studying Kentucky's role in slavery and the Underground Railroad.  We created quilt blocks and used them in math to find the fraction of each color that was represented.  We completed book talks on some books that related to this topic as well.  We are now on the look out for quilt squares on barns and buildings in our community and looking for the pattern in those to see what it represents.
