FIRST SHOTS ARE FIRED!

We are working on summary paragraphs across all subject areas today. Here is our American History example for today:

In chapter 11 of our social studies textbook, it describes how the Revolutionary War began. The colonists were angry about paying the Stamp Act and Townshend Act taxes, so they boycotted British goods. As a result, King George III shut down Boston Harbor. The colonists and British soldiers clashed at what later became knows as the Boston Massacre. The colonists then fired shots at the "lobsterbacks" at Lexington and Concord.

On a different note: Five students have been selected to record their homework responses using Sound Recorder. I will then post their work on our web portal under the Social Studies tab. The world will be able to listen by Friday of this week.
