Today, Anna and Quinn learned about the Founding Fathers and the Declaration of Independence. Anna and Quinn now have their e-studies weekly magazines, so we no longer have to read the material off of the computer. They seemed to enjoy having the paper version in front of them. We read about King George, the Stamp Act, and the Boston Tea Party. All of these events led up to the Revolutionary War and the Declaration of Independence. We added these two events to their timeline. We also talked about independence and what that means. Anna and Quinn listened to some fun reenactments of the Boston Tea Party on the computer. They also learned the significance of a John Hancock: at the end of class they each signed their name to their own personal Declaration of Independence.
