HOW FUN!
We had such a blast in class today. We talked about some amazing patriots of the American Revolution: men who gave EVERYTHING for their country. Nathan Hale and Thomas Sumter were amazing examples of what it truly means to be courageous, and be a statesman above a partisan politician. It would be wonderful if Washington D.C. resembled these men if just a little bit!
We discussed "Being George Washington" and had a quiz on the book's content. You all did a great job! Thank you for being prepared, for putting your time and energy into studying the book. The more participation we have, the more amazing the discussion.
I owe you cookies. I know. I will deliver next class! Nice job on the quizzes!
Lastly, we discussed next week's Parent Night assignments. PLEASE study your Declaration assignment for our presentation. For those who would like to do so, I would love for you to recite the Declaration in its entirety as well. You would do this at the end of our class recitation.
PLEASE let me know if you want to do that!
Also, please finish your hero reports/posters to bring for display at Parent's Night.
I am getting excited for our Capitol Trip! Congratulations to David Keener, Kaleigh Newlun, and Benjamin Poyer for completing all of the first semester requirements by the deadline and qualifying for the excursion. It is going to be a blast!
If you are all done with the above assignments, and are thirsting for more history, please begin reading the next book, "The Freedom Factor" by Gerald Lund. We will be discussing it January 29th. :)
Happy week, and see you Thursday!
