American Revolution (1775–83), insurrection by which 13 of Great Britain’s North American colonies won political independence and went on to form the United States of America. The war followed more than a decade of growing estrangement between the British crown and many North American colonists.
The Spanish American wars of independence were numerous wars in Spanish America with the aim of political independence from Spanish rule during the early 19th century. These began shortly after the start of the French invasion of Spain during the Napoleonic Wars. Thus, the strict period of military campaigns would go from the battle of Chacaltaya , in present-day Bolivia, to the battle of Tampico , in Mexico.[7][8]

Here we are, the fourth annual Open House post! This is when I show off all of the hard work that my students have done the past few months with a plethora of pictures. There are a lot of pictures below. I have written a bit of text so you have some idea of what is going on, but if you click on the pink links, it will take you to a more indepth explanation of the project. So, without further ado, here is Room 6! This is a full view of the right side of my room. You can see the cabinets and student desks. A view from the left side of the room. You can see several things here in this picture. The Colony Balloons are hanging from the ceiling. Our Walking the Colonies map is painted on the cupboard (on butcher paper) and the Paul Revere lesson is on the far left. You can also see our letters to the First Lady about the Walking Classroom on the right. Above the cabinets, you can see student writing (we used a Paragraph of the Week, informational style, and the kids wrote about one specific colony) that is backed on soda containers.) Here the students wrote letters to "relatives" about their stance on the Revolutionary War. You can read in greater detail about how we did it here. Students wrote weather reports about weather maps that they created using different weather scenarios. The students researched one colonial trade and wrote a report, created a sign, made an artifact, and drew a portrait of that tradesman. Portraits of signers of the Declaration of Independence. The students wrote biographies, then drew and painted a portrait of the famous signer. Students learned about the hidden science found in regular colonial activities. They had to determine whether chemical or physical changes occurred by reading about it. For this writing assignment, the students wrote about a typical colonial child's day. Modeling their writing after Sarah Morton's Day, they wrote their own photo journals. Read more about it here. The students created "quilt squares" using addition, subtraction, and multiplication of mixed numbers. I wrote about it in more detail in this post. Here is our Wonder Wall of Precepts. Here is the blog post I wrote about it. So there you have it. Pretty much all of the pictures that I took of my room. There were a few other boards, and some close ups I could have posted, but I probably have exceeded your bandwidth already ;) I hope you enjoyed the tour of my room!
On this day in 1961 dozens of pro-independence Algerians were massacred by police in Paris, many thrown off bridges to drown in the Seine.
