Recently my 7th graders have been researching their families and how they were effected by history. Since it's an interdisciplinary project with English students read the George Ella Lyon poem "Where I'm From" and then created their own.
I was amazed at their creativity!

Irish Heritage
March 13th Second Saturday program Irish Heritage & the Lowly Potato
CANTON -- Children 4-10 are invited to learn about Irish Heritage & the Lowly Potato, as the next Second Saturday Program at the St. Lawrence County Historical Association at the Silas Wright House, 3 E. Main St., Canton from 11 a.m. to noon, Saturday, March 13th. This activity is another in the SLCHA’s series of free monthly educational programs for kids.
Children will learn about Irish settlement in St. Lawrence County, find out why roads were named after the Irish, learn about the work of the Irish on the nation’s railroads, and discover that Irish immigrants were the 2nd largest immigrant group after French Canadians to come to St. Lawrence County! The kids will also sing songs like I’ve Been Working on the Railroad, Streets of New York, and Irish Eyes Are Smiling. Children will also make a shamrock craft to take home. Ron Semple, St. Lawrence County Historical Association Trustee, will lead the program, and will be joined by SLCHA volunteers, who will help the kids during the program.
The Second Saturday Program begins at 11 a.m. in the Children’s Attic on the second floor of the St. Lawrence County Historical Association. Parents, grandparents and other caregivers are welcome to attend this free program. Parking is available in the back of the SLCHA, next to the museum’s main entrance.
For more information, call SLCHA at 315-386-8133 or e-mail info@slcha.org. Visit the SLCHA’s website, www.slcha.org for more information on St. Lawrence County History. This program is made possible with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.

Bread Pudding (Pain Perdu)
Ingredients: 9-12 slices of stale bread, 5 eggs, 1 1/2c sugar, 1 qt. milk, cinnamon.
Beat eggs and 1c. sugar together, then mix with milk. Spray 13 x 9 pan with cooking spray. Cube bread, then place in pan. Pour egg mixture over bread, then push bread down lightly, so it soaks up egg mixture. Sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar on top. Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Put pan in another pan of water, then bake at 350 degrees for 45min.-60 min. It's done after a knife is inserted and comes out clean.
