Checkers!

As part of our studies of life in Colonial Times we have begun to play a few games.  This week we have played checkers and we plan to learn to play dominoes.  Our studies have included discussions about how the American Flag has evolved, how many states are in our country, and what some of the American Symbols are.  Do you know what Uncle Sam stands for???  U.S.?
We met Felicity, an American Girl, as we read about her experiences when young people in America were deciding if they were Loyalists or Patriots.  Some of the students debated which they would have been.
We are looking forward to our trip to Boston next week when we can see some of the architecture and structures we have learned about that are still there.  We will also see some of the flags we have learned about.  Of course we are also looking forward to seeing the swan boats and Ducklings statue.
