Boston Massacre Anniversary Reenactment

Starting Wednesday, we'll be beginning our unit on the Revolutionary War.  What's really fun about learning about this unit at this time of the year is that there are so many wonderful reenactments of the different major events of the War right here in Massachusetts.  I highly encourage you to check out as many as you can.  I always hear positive feedback from those who go, and I think it's a wonderful learning experience!

I will post more dates and events as we get a little closer to the date of the events.
