Puppies!

January 1, 2016 Cassi Thomas Leave a comment

On Christmas Eve our family brought two new Jindo (native to Korea) puppies into our home. We now have a total of three (Roxy is 9 months old now). I’m pretty happy with these photos. They are my first try at an indoor photo shoot (outside of lifestyle).

Historic Triangle Trip!

This February I chaperoned a trip to the Historic Triangle in Virginia with two other teachers. The three of us enjoyed the company of nine students from our high school, Desert Christian, in Tucson, AZ. This trip was orchestrated by one of our seniors for her capstone project. All seniors must complete a capstone project […]

2018 Titan II Missile Museum Field Trip!

Last week my US History students went on a field trip to the Titan II Missile Museum. Located just 45 minutes from our school, visitors can experience for themselves the last remaining nuclear missile silo from the Cold War era. “This preserved Titan II missile site, officially known as complex 571-7, is all that remains […]

WWII and Vietnam Veteran Interviews

Earlier this month my US History classes visited a local retirement home, Fellowship Square, to interview the WWII and Vietnam veterans residing there. Obviously, listening to real stories from the people who experienced them is a better learning opportunity than me attempting to recount war history in the classroom. I am grateful to Chaplain Al […]

San Xavier Field Trip

Field trips bring history to life; they take classroom learning to the next level, where students can touch, feel, and truly ingest content. I love taking students on field trips, and at Desert Christian High School, I have the freedom to do just that! This month we’ve been discussing the era in American history called […]

Creative Assessments

Looking for a different way to assess student learning outside of the multiple choice test or writing prompt? How about a PowToon? PowToon.com is an online tool which is used to create animated videos and presentations. The animations help to grab student attention by making content come to life and, there are ready-made templates so […]

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1954, the first U.S. civil defense drill was organized and put into test operations in 54 cities in the U.S. and Canada. The drill simulated a situation in which the country’s major cities had become the epicenters of nuclear attack. Alarms were sounded in selected cities, and residents were supposed to evacuate the streets and seek shelter. Even President Eisenhower took part, heading to an underground bunker in Washington, D.C. The entire drill lasted only about 10 minutes, after which life returned to normal. Well…sort of. Nuclear drills were a common part of American life during the Cold War and only faded out during the 1980s. Schoolchildren and adults alike watched Public Service announcements and participated in nuclear attack drills to prepare. Have you ever done a “duck and cover” drill? #DuckandCover #ColdWar #Nuclear #Drill #1954

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1967, The Supreme Court struck down U.S. laws banning interracial marriage in the case of Loving v Virginia. Richard Loving married long-time family friend Mildred in the summer of 1958. But, because he was white and she was black, their union was illegal in their home state and they were arrested for violating Virginia’s Racial Integrity Act in the middle of the night that July. Richard spent a night in jail before being released on a $1,000 bond, Mildred, however, was not allowed a bond. and spent three nights alone in the small woman’s cell. When she was finally released, the couple pled guilty and the presiding judge, Leon M. Bazile, gave them a choice, leave Virginia for 25 years or go to prison. They left and would spend the next nine years in exile. Neither of the Lovings appeared in court during their eventual Supreme Court trial, but Richard did send a letter to the justices that read, “Tell the Court I love my wife and it is just not fair that I cannot live with her in Virginia.” The judges agreed. In a unanimous decision handed down on June 12, 1967, laws banning interracial marriage were deemed unconstitutional, overturning them in 16 states (although Alabama would only repeal its anti-miscegenation laws in 2000). Every year on June 12, people across the U.S. celebrate the unofficial holiday of “Loving Day,” honoring the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision. #LovingDay #History #SCOTUS #LovingvVirgina #USHistory #CivilRights

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1982, Elvis’ Graceland opens to the public. As a child growing up he’d promised his parents that one day he would earn a lot of money and use it to buy the family a big house. He made good on that promise in 1957, when he bought Graceland for $102,500. The mansion, was originally built in 1939, and remains the centerpiece of the estate, although it has been considerably refurbished and embellished over the decades. Elvis, his parents, wife Priscilla Presley, daughter Lisa Marie and a collection of friends and relatives all lived in Graceland most of the time until Elvis’ death in August 1977 at the age of 42. #Graceland #Elvis #ElvisPresley

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1944, Allied forces storm the beaches of Normandy in Operation Overlord, known now as D-Day. Although the term D-Day is used routinely as military lingo for the day an operation or event will take place, for many it is also synonymous with June 6, 1944, the day the Allied powers crossed the English Channel and landed on the beaches of Normandy, France, beginning the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control during World War II. Within three months, the northern part of France would be freed and the invasion force would be preparing to enter Germany, where they would meet up with Soviet forces moving in from the east. On the morning of June 5, 1944, U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, gave the go-ahead for Operation Overlord, the largest amphibious military operation in history. On his orders, 6,000 landing craft, ships and other vessels carrying 176,000 troops began to leave England for the trip to France. That night, 822 aircraft filled with parachutists headed for drop zones in Normandy. An additional 13,000 aircraft were mobilized to provide air cover and support for the invasion. By day’s end, 155,000 Allied troops–Americans, British and Canadians–had successfully stormed Normandy’s beaches. Though it did not go off exactly as planned, as later claimed by British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery–for example, the Allies were able to land only fractions of the supplies and vehicles they had intended in France–D-Day was a decided success. #DDay #WorldWarII #WWII #History #OperationOverlord #1944

Our school library did an audit this week, making room for new books and donating others. I swooped in looking for books that were going to be donated that I couldn't let slip thru my fingers.

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1953, Queen Elizabeth II is formally crowned monarch of the United Kingdom in a lavish ceremony steeped in traditions that date back a millennium. A thousand dignitaries and guests attended the coronation at Westminster Abbey, hundreds of millions listened on radio, and for the first time many watched the proceedings on live television. After the ceremony, rain-drenched spectators cheered the 27-year-old queen and her husband, as they passed along a five-mile procession route in a gilded horse-drawn carriage. #Royalfamily #history #UKHistory #QueenElizabeth

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ #ThisWeekinHistory the ‘Miracle of Dunkirk’ takes place. Dunkirk is a small town on the coast of France that was the scene of a massive military campaign during World War II. From May 26 to June 4, 1940, as many as 338,000 British Expeditionary Force (BEF) and other Allied troops were evacuated from Dunkirk to England as German forces rapidly closed in around them. The massive operation, involving hundreds of naval and civilian vessels, served as a turning point for the Allied war effort. On the evening of May 26, the British began the evacuation from Dunkirk, using the codename Operation Dynamo. On the first day, Operation Dynamo was only able to evacuate about 7,500 men from Dunkirk; 15,000 more got out the following day (May 27). As Dunkirk had such a shallow beach, official Royal Navy vessels couldn’t reach it, and the Allies put out a call for smaller ships to carry troops from the shore to the larger ships further out in the North Sea. Some 800 to 1,200 boats, many of them leisure or fishing crafts, eventually aided in the evacuation from Dunkirk. The first members of this small armada—which would become known as the “Little Ships”—began arriving on the beaches of Dunkirk on the morning of May 28, helping to speed up the evacuation. The success of Operation Dynamo exceeded all expectations but not every soldier escaped that day. On #ThisDayinHistory, after holding off a German company until their ammunition was spent, 99 soldiers from the Royal Norfolk Regiment retreated to a farmhouse in the village of Paradis, about 50 miles from Dunkirk, and agreed to surrender. Upon filing out of the farmhouse waving a white flag, they were met by German machine-gun fire. They were then marched into a pit where machine guns had been placed in fixed positions. Of the 99 members of the regiment, only two survived, both privates. They lay among the dead until dark, then, in the middle of a rainstorm, they escaped. Germany had hoped defeat at Dunkirk would lead Britain to negotiate a surrenderspeedy exit from the conflict. But instead, the “Miracle at Dunkirk” became a rallying cry for the duration of the war. #Dunkirk #WWII #History

Happy to post this today as I've been officially told that I will be adding photography to the classes I'll be teaching next year! Whooo! #Repost @womensmuseum (@get_repost) ・・・ Margaret Bourke-White was an American photographer and photojournalist. In 1936, she was hired by Henry Luce to work for Life Magazine, becoming the publication's first female photographer and the first woman to have one of her pictures featured on the magazine's cover. Later, Bourke-White became the first person granted access to photograph the Soviet industry, also making her the first female war photojournalist. She went on to travel the world, photographing many well-known historical figures and events until her death in 1971. . . #WomensHistory #Herstory #WomenWhoInspire #Photojournalism #Photographer #History #WomenInHistory #WorldWarII #WW2 #20thCentury #GirlBoss #GirlPower #ShePersisted #FemaleFirsts

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1934, notorious criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow are killed by Texas and Louisiana state police while driving a stolen car near Sailes, Louisiana. Bonnie Parker met Clyde Barrow in Texas when she was 19 years old, and shortly after they met, Barrow was imprisoned for robbery. When Barrow was paroled in 1932, he immediately hooked up with Parker, and the couple began a life of crime together. After they stole a car and committed several robberies, Parker was caught by police and sent to jail for two months. The couple teamed with various accomplices to rob a string of banks and stores across Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, New Mexico and Louisiana. To law enforcement agents, the Barrow Gang, which included Barrow’s childhood friend, Raymond Hamilton, W.D. Jones, Henry Methvin, Barrow’s brother Buck and his wife Blanche, were cold-blooded criminals. Among the public, however, Parker and Barrow’s reputation as dangerous outlaws was mixed with a romantic view of the couple as “Robin Hood”-like folk heroes. Their fame was increased by the fact that Bonnie was a woman and the fact that the couple posed for playful photographs together, which were later found by police and released to the media. Texan prison officials hired a retired Texas police officer to track down Parker and Barrow and he tracked them down after a three-month search. On May 23, lawmen hiding in the bushes opened fire, showering the couple in a hail of bullets and killing them. All told, the Barrow Gang was believed responsible for the deaths of 13 people, including nine police officers. But, Parker and Barrow are still seen by many as romantic figures, especially after the success of the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, starring Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. #BonnieandClyde #History #USHistory #clydebarrow #bonnieparker

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ When #NikolaTesla was found dead at age 86, representatives of the U.S. government’s Office of Alien Property swarmed his NYC hotel room and confiscated the documents they found there relating to the pioneering inventor’s work. It was January 1943, the height of #WWII, and Tesla claimed to have invented a “death ray.” Rather than risk Tesla’s technology falling into Axis hands, the government took possession. What happened to Tesla’s files from there, as well as what exactly was in them, remained mostly shrouded in mystery until the FBI finally declassified roughly 250 pages of their Tesla-related documents in 2016, and followed up with two additional releases. The latest release was in March 2018, but many of Tesla’s files are still missing….Tune in tonight at 10/9C for the #TeslaFiles as we explore Tesla’s inventions, innovations, and mystery. #Tesla #Inventor #DeathRay #FBI #Aliens #mystery #Tonight

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ Schoolhouse Rock! began as a way to help the son of Madison Avenue advertiser David McCall with his homework. The story goes that his son was having trouble remembering the multiplication tables, but knew the lyrics to his favorite songs .And so, McCall called a copywriter friend of his named George Newall who was also a pianist and they enlisted the late composer Bob Dorough. The first song recorded was "Three Is a Magic Number", and the group compiled and released a children's record. Then someone suggested adding animated shorts to the songs, and Schoolhouse Rock! was born, debuting in 1973. Though the show technically ended before the 1980s, syndication meant that children have been singing their way to knowledge. What’s your favorite song from the show? #SchoolhouseRock #Imjustabill #conjunctionjunction #threeisamagicnumber

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1945, Great Britain and the United States celebrate Victory in Europe Day. Cities in both nations, as well as formerly occupied cities in Western Europe, put out flags and banners, rejoicing at the defeat of the Nazis. The eighth of May was the day when German troops throughout Europe finally laid down their arms: In Prague, Germans surrendered to their Soviet antagonists; in Copenhagen and Oslo; at Karlshorst, near Berlin; in northern Latvia; on the Channel Island of Sark–the German surrender was realized in a final cease-fire. The main concern of many German soldiers was to elude the grasp of Soviet forces, to keep from being taken prisoner. About 1 million Germans attempted a mass exodus to the West when the fighting in Czechoslovakia ended, but were stopped by the Russians and taken captive. The Russians took approximately 2 million prisoners in the period just before and after the German surrender. Meanwhile, more than 13,000 British POWs were released and sent back to Great Britain. Pockets of German-Soviet confrontation would continue into the next day. On May 9, the Soviets would lose 600 more soldiers in Silesia before the Germans finally surrendered. Consequently, V-E Day was not celebrated until the ninth in Moscow, with a radio broadcast salute from Stalin himself: “The age-long struggle of the Slav nations…has ended in victory. Your courage has defeated the Nazis. The war is over.” #WWII #VEDay #VEDay73 #history #MilitaryHistory

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory, 1973 Secretariat wins the 99th #KentuckyDerby. Secretariat is probably one of America’s best-known horses, becoming a Triple Crown winner in 1973 after breaking several records and capturing the public’s imagination. In order to win the Triple Crown, a horse has to win the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes – all in less than two months. It's considered one of the most difficult accomplishments in the world of horse racing and has only been managed by a select number of horses. Secretariat’s achievement took on additional significance as he was the first horse to win the Triple Crown in more than 25 years. Before him, there was one winner in 1919 and seven in the 1930s and 40s. #Secretariat #Derby #TripleCrown #history

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1986, the world’s worst ever civil nuclear disaster to date occurs at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine. The full toll from this disaster is still being tallied 32 years later, but experts believe that thousands of people died and as many as 70,000 suffered severe poisoning. In addition, a large area of land may not be habitable for as much as 150 years. The 18-mile radius around Chernobyl was home to almost 150,000 people who had to be permanently relocated. In Ukraine, in the first 5 years after the disaster, cases of cancer among children increased by over 90%. And, during the first 20 years after the accident, approximately 5,000 cases of thyroid cancer were registered in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus among those who were younger than eighteen at the time of the explosion. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 5,000 cancer deaths were related to the Chernobyl accident, but this figure is often challenged by independent experts. It took nine years after the fall of the USSR to close the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station and more than 25 years to build a new shelter over the damaged reactor. #Chernobyl #Nuclear #History #Ukraine #History
