Social Studies

Social Studies:  We are looking back at the origin of the thirteen colonies.  Many of the boys are anticipating The Revolutionary War, however, we must first look at how the colonies got their start and why they became disgruntled.  Students will be making a journal as if they were a child during this time period.  They will choose either the New England colonies, the middle colonies, or the southern colonies as their home and explain what their life was like.  More details will follow.
