Holiday Fun

This week the 10-2 boys visited their 7-2 buddies (Mrs. King's class).  Each of the boys discussed and illustrated their family's holiday traditions while enjoying some festive treats.  Best wishes to everyone for a wonderful holiday season and a safe, relaxing winter break.

Roanoke, Jamestown, and Plymouth

Recently, our history studies in 10-2 have focused on the first English colonies in North America.  We have had several insightful discussions about the settlements of Roanoke Island, Jamestown, and Plymouth.  The boys have learned many interesting facts about each of these settlements, and even attended a virtual “field trip” to Plimoth Plantation.  Through the Jamestown Online Adventure, students are also able to play the role of “captain” of the Jamestown colony and test their decision-making skills.  In addition, the boys are currently writing a composition describing the purpose, founders, and early years of these two important settlements.
