The British are Coming! The British are Coming!

Our fifth grade classes have been learning about the Revolutionary War and colonial times.  
They've been "taxed" (unjustly some might say) for their use of the computers, their clothes, their desks, etc.  (They had to pay their taxes with Skittles.)
 They learned about the Boston Tea Party and even threw "tea" (actually hot cocoa packets) in the King's (Mr. Cox) office because they thought they were taxed too much.
On the afternoon of Thursday, March 8th, they staged the Revolutionary War in the gym.
It was the Rebels (the 5th graders) against the British (the 6th graders).

It started with Paul Revere riding in yelling,

"The British are coming! The British are coming!"

The Rebels prepared themselves for battle. . .


The British marched in an lined up for battle. . .

Then the sock "war" began. . .








Then ended with many British "casualties". . .


It was a fun learning experience for the 5th graders and I'm sure they will always remember it.  

Thank you to our fifth grade team, Mrs. Drumm, Mrs. Earl, and Mr. Zimmerman for planning such a fun and memorable activity!

Tuesday, students received bookmarks.
Wednesday, there was a "fruit walk" and some lucky students won blow-up fruit toys.


Thursday, if students found a sticker under their fruit cup, they were able to come pop a "grape" and they received a prize.
