All this week, third grade students have been diving in deep to the 1700s and what was happening in Boston. While learning about the Stamp Act, the Quartering Act, and other laws made by British rule, students formed their own opinions about what was fair and what was unfair. Third graders have also taken on the perspective of figures in history such as British soldiers, Patriots, and even King George himself! Each day we have closely read chapters from the books below to build knowledge about this time period. As a final project, third graders will leave a copy of their diaries for another classroom at Davis Thayer! We are thrilled with the energy and enthusiasm that students are showing during Reader’s Workshop. Many have very strong feelings about liberty, what was fair, and why groups of people chose to rebel.
