Hey everyone!
Great class on Thursday.
Mary and Archie gave EXCELLENT presentations on their chosen colonies. Who knew that Connecticut had such a cool state flag? LOVED the Latin motto.
We digested quite a bit. We told stories about George Washington's life, events that helped to define his amazing character. We talked about qualities he had that we would want to emulate.
Benjamin presented an impromptu history lesson circa 1900-1940 for the class . He was GREAT! Anytime anyone wants to help teach, I am ALL for it. :)
We discussed the Noble Train of Artillery, engineered and accomplished by Henry Knox and his hard-working team of soldiers. We talked about how crucial teamwork is to great endeavors, shown true in the daring expedition.
You all have GREAT ideas. You can present very well-thought out conclusions. I LOVE when you really listen, to lecture, to presentations, to EACH OTHER, and learn and grow from the conversations we share.
For next week, make sure you are working on digesting, writing about the Declaration. Work all the way up through page 14 - FINISH! I will too. It will help our understanding of this important document so much.
Keep reading about George - the greatest general our nation ever had.
And MATTHEW - you are presenting on Rhode Island! We are so looking forward to that!
We'll see you next week!
