May 23 "He who is brave is free.” ~ Seneca

A brief overview of the Revolutionary War through its battles. Feel free to stop each frame so that you have time to read it.



Dear Families--

In the May 19th blog, I began posting an excellent series called Liberty's Kids. I will continue with them now, since I found very little that would recall the events of the Revolutionary War in a more organized, understandable, and "kid-friendly" way. (I'm posting even what we don't use so that it's available to those of you who may be interested.) After the conversations are over and we're completely comfortable with the people and places of the Revolution, we'll watch an excellent PBS Documentary that I purchased for the occasion. That will come later... For now, join us in learning about the Revolution through the eyes of Liberty's Kids:

I think we'll call this enough for today. I'll post the rest soon--you'll have to admit, it's pretty good!

Be looking for information about the class trip, and please return any necessary forms at your earliest convenience.

Before it becomes "good morning" I'd better say good night, everybody. I'll talk to you soon!
