Last week we had a great discussion about overcoming roadblocks. We also discovered that the goals we have today and the challenges we face today are very similar to those of the colonists almost 250 years ago! See, people really are the same...we all have the same dreams and make the same mistakes, no matter what time period or culture we live in!
We had informative and entertaining (and delicious!) presentations given by Gabe and Micah. Thanks for sharing what you learned with us. We also appreciate the candy, but remember, presenters are not obligated to bring treats!
This week's presentations will be given by Emma (our last first-timer!) on Betsy Ross and the First Flag, and by Hannah on the Education of the Founders. We're looking forward to these young ladies' presentations!
Your opinion paper topic this week is, "How do you overcome roadblocks in your life?" You may want to talk with your families about this one; your parents and older siblings will probably have some experiences they can share.
Try your best to have through the Statement of Prudence of the Declaration of Independence (DoI) memorized by Thursday, and don't forget about using the DoI journal; I promise, it will help. I may even have a treat for you Thursday to help motivate you! We'll set a new class goal this week, too.
As always, email me or teacher Amber if you have any questions, comments, or if you need any help with your papers or award requirements.
See you all Thursday!
-Mrs. Hellyer
