Revolutionary Life Day
By Paige S., Gr. 7
Eighth Grade Revolutionary Life Day gave 8th graders the chance to learn about the revolutionary war time. For example, they learned what was in weapons, how to make ink, how to write with a quill, and how to dance the Virginia Reel. Good job 8th teachers and students with your costumes for Revolutionary Life Day!
