Act-It-Outs and Slave Artifacts

       Below you will find videos of the students acting out some of the tensions which led to the Revolutionary War. The kids always love performing and they're anxious to share these videos with you here on the blog! Enjoy! :o)

Proclamation of 1763

Quartering Act

Stamp Act


The Boston Tea Party 0

The Boston Massacre

      I also wanted to share with you some really interesting artifacts, one of our students, Sophie, brought back from her visit to see family over Winter Break.  These artifacts are old items from an actual slave house.  It was fascinating to be able to examine these firsthand with the kids!  Thanks, Sophie and family for sharing!
