We will be having an assessment on our studies of the colonies and the American Revolution. Students have brought home classwork to look over and some readings to review the information. The readings are also linked here:
Britain Taxes the Colonists
Fighting the War
End of year Appreciation Cards due Tomorrow -
We are encouraging the students to write about 5 a day, so they are not
writing them all at the last minute. In class today we had students
model appreciations, and gave examples of how they are coming up with
ideas: making brainstorm lists, thinking about an activity when they
were grouped with classmates etc. We have been practicing how to give
appreciations to people that we do not interact with as much or feel
that we know that well, so hopefully this has helped everyone come up
with some genuine appreciations!
Strawberry Secret Santas: We will continue our exchange
of homemade Secret Santa gifts tomorrow. Students should have something simple that
can be made at home (a card, picture, etc.). Friday will be reserved for
the gifts that are between $5-$10.
Update:
Class Holiday Party, Friday, December 21: While we look forward to a family event later in the year, this party is for the students. Parents are not expected to attend.
Declaration of Independence: Today we launched into the founding of the United States of America with a look at the Declaration of Independence followed by a brainstorm of what laws might the colonists have generated to develop a governing law (Constitution).
