Students in 2nd – 4th grade participated in a class this spring about the American Revolution.  Students listened to and discussed the books such as: Sam the Minuteman, George the Drummer Boy, Can’t You Make them Behave King George and Phoebe the Spy. 

They have learned about the differences between Minutemen and Redcoats, discussed Paul Revere and some of the first battles of the American Revolution.  We learned about the “Intolerable Acts” through books and a video and students worked on vocabulary words.

Students watched a video on the Declaration of Independence and put together a puzzle with the first lines of the declaration on it.  As we finish off our unit, students will summarize what they have learned over the course of the unit.
