In Social Studies we are learning about the American Revolution. We have been watching the video series called, “Liberty Kids” about two young people from the opposing sides of the war during that time period. Some of the kids have asked about watching it at home and you can find the episodes on youtube. This week we will be doing fun activity to show the students what it was like for the colonists to have to pay taxes on many different goods.
