Week 3

Hello Liberty Leaders- 

What a great class last week. We had a wonderful presentation on Salem Witch Trials by Zane! Way to jump up there be first for the class and also give us a great example of a presentation. 

Here are next weeks presentations: (Week 4)

Boston Massacre: Hannah

King George III: Zane

(Possible make up Presentation by Zachary- French & Indian War) 

Remember you get to design what style of presentation you want to do per your topic. Be creative, informative and have fun with it. By completing your two presentations you will receive another ribbon towards your over all KOL Award Requirement. 

What other things have you been working on to get your rewards completed! 

Everyone who was in class was able to read and go over the Mayflower Compact. This was such an interesting article that also showed their need to have some sort of law and rule in the new land. By going over it together we were able to analyze and try to understand exactly where these individuals were coming from. We will continue to do this with other documents as well, especially the Constitution. 

Remember this week you will be discussing The Landing of the Pilgrims book during class, so come prepared with maybe a couple questions or thoughts you have regarding the book.  

Mrs. Hellyer lead us on a great discussion and lecture regarding Moral people makes good government. We learned that if one leader holds to much power and is immoral then it is lead to tyranny, while having people with no morals and no law is . We learned that the Founders figured out something to be right in the middle to allow for a Good Law. 

Your opinion paper topic for the week is: Why are Moral people required for a good government? 

***Reminder: We are having a KOL movie night at Hellyer’s Home Friday October 9th at 6:30pm!!!  You do need watch one of the movies in order to get another requirement marked off. You are welcome to bring snacks for us all to enjoy. These moments allow for bonding outside of the classroom. Your participation is highly recommended.

I will probably bring some kind of Fall Harvest Trail mix and a drink of some sort. 

Thank you Mrs. Hellyer for opening up your home to allow for a fun evening. 

Hellyer Home Address was sent out in a personal email. If you did not get this email let us know. 

It is not to late to see if maybe a carpool could get started to and from! 

I will not be in class on next week October 8th, as my daughter is having surgery the night before however we have two wonderful volunteers who will be coming in to help Mrs. Hellyer. I know you guys will leave them amazed at what wonderful Scholars you are. And your thoughts and ideas will blow them away. Thank you again to Mrs. Hellyer for stepping up and taking on another week of lecture for the class. I owe her BIG! :) 

I hope you all have a wonderful week and as always, if you have any questions feel free to call, email or ask Mrs. Hellyer or I. 

Thank you,

Teacher Amber
