Mr. M returns from war and it is 85 degrees and humid in the room! The students did well trying to focus. Today we talked about the 2nd online review quiz the students did. Mr. M spent time talking about the layout of the DOI - what does it say?  Also, we got into the British campaign of 1777. The Burgoyne attempt to come down Lake Champlain and take Albany.

Thursday, May 20th and Friday May 21st

Mr. M has gone to war! I am at Fort Ticonderoga, NY for the 15th annual War College on the French and Indian War. The students will be learning about the importance of the Declaration of Independence and what it says. They will also continue to look at the war itself - the Olive Branch Petition, Common Sense, Declaring Independence, The Battle of Long Island, the American Crisis, and Trenton!
