Patriot or Loyalists?

On Thursday, November 6, 2014 our bus stopped at the edge of a clearing; we filed out excitedly.  Mrs. Johnson showed us the way down a tree-lined trail to what looked like a phone booth.  There was a dial inside where the phone would have been and she turned it until it read 1775.  She let her teacher assistant, Olivia, press the worn, red button next to the dial and before we could count to 10 we were transported to Colonel Bratton's plantation!  Check out what happened next:

 

Boys and girls help us finish the story about our travels by adding to it.  Remember to include your name so you can receive extra credit.  Parents, I was told that if you are having trouble commenting on our blog it might be that you don't have a gmail account.  If that's the case, just have your child respond on a piece of paper and bring to class before Friday to take advantage of the extra credit.
