We went back over the 13 colonies.
The kids watched a Drive Through History DVD
We went over the
Sugar Act
Stamp Act
Quartering Act
Boston Massacre
and started talking about The Boston Tea Party
Amy set up a store and the kids got to use their dollars to "buy" stuff.
Then she added a tax to the cost of the goods and the kids had the same amount of money to "buy" and came back to the store.
We showed them what the money of this time period looked like...
Amy read the first chapter of Johnny Tremain. Which is ONE of my favorite books!
Can you tell the kids were enthused! :)
