We recently had our school presentations to close our topic, Price of Liberty. I told the boys they could do a presentation on anything we had learned about during this topic and Tanner chose Benedict Arnold and Hunter wanted to do a report on the history of the American flag.
I had read Sophia's War to Tanner and it got him interested in this bad guy, Benedict Arnold. Tanner did a great job researching him, and then dressing up like him to tell the others about his life. I did very little to help Tanner with this project so I was very proud of his final result!

Ever since learning about Betsy Ross, Hunter has been really into the American flag. So I was not surprised when that is what he choose to do his presentation on! Here is his report, now proudly hanging in our classroom! It was fun going through a w - i - d - e variety of flags with him and narrowing it down to a few that he could teach others about. Now, whenever we see a flag in a book or wherever, he has to stop and count to see how many stars are in it so we know how many states were in the Union at that time!
