Local Author, Kate Messner, has written a book about the Revolutionary War Battle of Valcour Island called, Spitfire. Our class will be doing a unit on this book for the rest of the month of April. This is a very rich and historically correct account with many interdisciplinary connections. We will kick off our study with an author visit! The author will be coming to our school on Monday.
I am posting a link to her website so that you may become involved as well. I am also considering a possible field trip to the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. I know we have taken many trips already and am wondering if you think another trip is a good idea or not. Let me know if you are interested ( I would need drivers again...) and I can look into it.
Thanks! Hopefully, it will be fun and we will learn a lot!
