Cowboy Boot Resources

Howdy, cowboys and cowgirls!

First, read a little bit about the history of cowboys here:
http://www.ducksters.com/history/westward_expansion/cowboys.php
Make sure to pay extra-close attention to the Clothing section to learn about cowboy boots.

Next, leave a comment with your partner sharing your two favorite facts.

Then use the links below to view how some cowboy boots are made and observe various boot designs to get ideas for your own custom boot! Pay attention to patterns, colors, and objects that you think best represent Texas.

(second one down on right side of page)

Finally, begin your own design on the next clean page in your notebook! Your boot must have at least two Texas symbols in the design, but you can be creative with how you use them! Add patterns, swirls, and zig-zags--just make sure your design represents Texas! Remember, the background is a dark brown, but you may add colors with colored pencils and crayons.

We'll begin working on the actual boot template Friday.

Have fun, y'all!

    My favorite fact was that cowboy boots are handmade (all of the ones made for cowboys) and take lots of time.

    Our favorite facts were that the cowboy boots are very expensive and they are hand made.

Reaching Out, Learning about Each Other and the World

By
This week our focus has challenged us to "be the world to one," rather than just "one in the world." Discussions have run deep with how our actions and words truly have an impact on everyone around us. We also talked about how all of us: humanity and nature make the music of this world, and without our unique voice, that music is missing something. Discover what you want to add to the music. Speak up. Say something. We wrestled with big history this week. We celebrated  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and The Little Rock 5, Ruby Bridges, and the thousands of others who took a stand during the Civil Rights Era. To understand this better, we looked at primary source pictures -- these leaders, their actions, their speeches, their marches -- which brought them to life. We examined timelines and asked powerful questions. Again, another opportunity to look at the world -- right now -- and ask, "How can I be the world to one? What do I want to say that makes...
