Colonial Day

AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW man! I wish that I could be there for Colonial Day!

After all of the notes, summaries, United Streaming videos, Book Club readings, research and scrapbooking assignments, I hope that you are prepared for the time-warp that each of you will experience today.

Based on what I've learned about Colonial period in American History, you're in for a rough ride! From hauling wood to keep the schoolhouse warm, to paying taxes to King George III's Royal Representative on goods that are sold in your colonial store, the colonists faced obstacles that will test the patience and guidance of even the best leaders in our classroom.

Nathaniel Hale will take over for me until about 2:30 PM today, when you are scheduled to warp back to the 21st century. You'll need to demonstrate the same amount of caring and respect for him that you show to each other and the other adults in our building. What he says, goes! Remember that he is an educator, not a tax collector in real life!

I'll miss seeing how each of you react to what Nathaniel Hale has in store for you!
