Cultural Studies: We started off our day with our Colonial Times and Revolution assessment. The purpose of this assessment was to allow every student to show us what they have learned about the colonists, the events that led to the revolution, and the importance of the revolution in American history. We concluded our day with a first look at the US Constitution and more specifically the Bill of Rights. The Constitution was compared to a cookbook for creating the US government. We read the first ten amendments and then made note of later amendments, specifically XIII (end of slavery in 1865) and XIX (women's suffrage in 1920) to connect the Declaration of Independence's statement of "all men are created equal," to the reality of how that idea manifested in our country.
After all of our school "business" was taken care of we moved on to cookie making! We made the dough for our sugar cookies so that they will be all ready to roll out and bake tomorrow. We're looking forward to a day of festivities and celebration tomorrow. Please don't forget to send in the items that you and your child have signed up for!
