3/26 Class Update

Hey everyone!

We had a great class today.

We had a thrilling presentation by Benjamin on the weaponry of the early years of our nation. I learned what a Howitzer is, finally! Thank you, Benjamin! We appreciated all of the energy and preparation you put into your presentation. It really showed and you were great!

We had a book discussion on "The Great Little Madison." He really was GREAT. We appreciated that even though he was chronically ill, weak-voiced and married far late into his life, he offered up himself to his nation. Time and time again he answered the call of his community and his country, to help safeguard the freedoms of our people. He lived great, and died great. To this day he remains a wonderful example of what we can each contribute to the cause of liberty.

We then had a simulation that helped to teach us the two ways in which our national Constitution can be amended.Because our clever class learns so quickly, you were all able to amend the constitution I had drafted, and you were all able to eat one of my delicious Funfetti pink lemonade-frosted cupcakes. :) NICELY DONE!
