Greetings 5th Grade Families,

 

Today and tomorrow (Saturday), from 9am-4pm, Living History Days is reenacting the life and times of US Colonial Times during the Revolution. 

 

See Link for details. 

 

I'm sharing this with you to enrich your child's current learning of colonial times leading up to the Revolutionary War. We are currently building our own colonial simulation in the classroom and will be discussing the French Indian War (Seven Years War) that sets the stage for a biographical look at George Washington and the problems that develop between England and its North American colonies. 

 

We will also continue to see the issues from both Native American and African perspective as we learn about gentry, colonial economics, and the government structures within the colonies.

 

Thanks for considering this opportunity to enrich your child's learning. 

 

Best Regards,

Mr. McGinnis
