You all were amazing!
Parent night was a great success. Teacher Betty and I were very impressed with how well you did at presenting your first oral recitation - in front of a room full of people, with a memorized statement. And the Declaration no less! You were wonderful, and inspiring.
In class this past week, we prepared for Parent Night, we learned the history behind tri-corner hats, and we got to create our very own! You all looked stunning, by the way. I was transported back in time watching you recite the Declaration!
We all chose presentations for the next semester. Please see below for your topics and dates! P.S. - Your presentation should include 2-4 pages of a written report. You can use the written report to present to the class, but visuals would be GREAT!
Kaleigh - The Stamp Act - March 5th
Matthew - The Boston Tea Party - March 12th
Kenny - King George III - March 19th
Benjamin - Weaponry - March 26
Adam - Minutemen and Militia - April 9
David - Fort Ticonderoga - April 16
Hannah - Fashion in the Colonial Era - April 23
Next week, David, Kaleigh and Benjamin will accompany Mrs. Keener and me to visit the Capitol. PLEASE BRING your permission slips, money and lunches. Teacher Betty will hold down the Key of Liberty fort with a fun lesson. I encourage you all to bring your Freedom Factor book! You may need it in class next week (not for a book discussion yet).
Teacher Betty will have something fun planned, I am sure!
This week, please keep working on reading The Freedom Factor.
GREAT JOB again, you guys. You are amazing scholars! We'll see you next week. :)
-Teacher Kelly
