11/20 Class Update

Hey guys-


We had an AWESOME class today.

Kenny gave an engaging and informative presentation on Georgia. He gave a challenging quiz, and awarded our efforts with delicious sugary sweets. :)

We also had a great crash course on important battles of 1777. So much sacrifice of the patriots occurred during these battles, and the sacrifice intensified even at Valley Forge. Learning more about the battles really helps us to know what kind of hardships these brave men and women endured to secure our country's freedom.

You all did VERY well during lecture, and AMAZING during the quiz! Congrats to team MARY who overcame and won the cherry nibs.

And, last but certainly not least, Matthew shared his amazing cinnamon rolls. Did I mention they were amazing? Really very good. My birthday is April 28th (hint hint). ;)


SO, we won't meet again for two weeks, but don't let that put you at ease.  You have a lot to do! Below are your assignments:

**Continue and FINISH "Being George Washington".
**Write a paper home, as though you are a patriot fighting in the Revolutionary war.
**Write your paper (if you didn't turn it in yet) on "For though the flame of liberty may sometimes cease to shine the coal can never expire." Is this a true statement? What does this statement mean to you?
**FINISH analyzing and taking notes on the Declaration of Independence.
**FINISH your outstanding requirements for the first semester of KEY. Call me if you are unsure about what these are, though they are listed in your binder.

Devotional Assignments for class on 12/4 are:

Opening Prayer –  Archie

Pledge of Allegiance – Adam

Inspirational Thought –Benjamin

News desk –Matthew

And we will have a presentation from ADAM on Maryland. SO looking forward to it!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. 

Might I suggest, at that fabulous turkey dinner, you share some of our Revolutionary War history events and/or figures for which you are grateful? You will impress your dinner guests, and more importantly enlarge your soul by sharing sincere gratitude for your forefathers' sacrifice.

Happy Thanksgiving-
