We've been talking Revolutionary War in Social Studies the last few days. I've given them the Mr. Carter's Wheelhouse version, the oral history of the Revolutionary War distilled into two days. Tomorrow we will start in on the book to see the slightly more technical version of what happened. I went into King George's explosive reaction to the Olive Branch Petition today, and was told that I needed to take a deep breath by the kids. I always get into that part after watching my history professor do the same thing in college.
In my mind, we were going to do an observation exercise on a lava lamp, but too little too late as it didn't fully "melt" in time. Tomorrow we will get that sucker plugged in way ahead of time. The fact that it was in my car in the cold parking lot until about 10am probably didn't help make the melting process any quicker.
Reading class has taken us on a tedious trip west in a covered wagon over the last couple days. Tomorrow we will, at last, read the last page of that story! I was discussing this evening with someone, why aren't there any cheerful stories about wagon trails west? This is not what we were promised in our many games of Oregon Trail as kids.
And last but not least, Woodbrook raised over $6,000 in Jump Rope for Heart this morning! Awesome work, everyone, whether you raised funds, donated, or jumped rope for a solid hour! We heart patients are very grateful.
And with that, it's just about my bedtime. Have a great Thursday!
