American Revolution #1
I really like this unit on the American Revolution, but my favorite part to learn about is the Boston Tea Party. I like learning about why King George started taxing the colonists and that he started to tax them on something they loved. TEA. The colonists did not want to pay them and the king started sending over tax collector after tax collector. Until there were a lot of them. The colonists started torturing and being mean to the tax collectors. When the king started to tax tea, the colonists were furious and would not pay. They decided they could live without tea and threw tea overboard.
Final Wonder Reflections
This is the last in a series of reflections on the book “Wonder”
I learned from finishing the book “Wonder” that it doesn’t matter what someone (a lot) of people think about you. If they don’t like that you are you, then they are the ones that are (very) wrong. I think that the precept “When Given The Choice Between Being Right And Being Kind… Choose Kind,” I think this means that if you have a choice to be right about one thing or to be a kind person, not just do one kind thing, choose kind. But, the part that is kind of confusing is that, if you choose kind, you are right, so the kind option is right! So, the other option isn’t important to the precept at all. Because, if you pick the other one, you are the different one.
Read Aloud Reflection – Wonder – 3
This is the 3rd in a series of posts about the book Wonder.
August is done with his first day of school. Now, it is halloween! August is very excited.
Why is halloween a positive thing for August?
I think halloween is a very positive thing because no one will see his face. Well, they might. But, they’ll think it’s just a costume.
