The Battle of Bunker Hill.

Mr. M explained what happened after Lexington and Concord. There was a stalemate outside Boston. This changed on June 17th, 1775.

We learned about how the experience at Bunker Hill (Breeds Hill) on the Charlestowne peninsula most likely affected Sir William Howe's decision to not press the attack on the final American defenses at Brooklyn a year later. This probably would have won the war for the British.

We went outside to re-fight the Battle of Bunker Hill on the berm behind school! Fun!
