10/9 Class Report

Hi all-

Last week, Kaleigh gave an AWESOME presentation on both the New York and New Jersey colonies of the American Revolutionary period. She was great! We loved the info she shared, as well as the candy.  (wink wink).

We read through The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere as a class, then reenacted the exciting, eventful night.

We had a lecture on the events that led up to the Revolutionary War, and as always, ran out of time to discuss more of the amazing stories contained in the awesome history of the Revolution.

Assignments for next class (10/16)

**Learn about and be prepared to discuss the "Intolerable Acts" of King George and his parliament.

**Complete and turn in paper on the following topic: "Define stubborn. Is it good to be stubborn?"

**FINISH John Adams book. We will discuss it!

**Work on other requirements for first semester ribbons...check your binders for what you haven't completed yet. Ask for help from your teachers or your parents if you need it!

You all are doing awesome. You have lots to share with all of us. We are so excited to be learning with you! Keep up the amazing work...you and your education are worth all the hours and sacrifices you make to achieve in this class.

See you Thursday-

Teacher Kelly and Teacher Betty
