Mr. Miller’s 8th grade Social Studies classes are learning about Colonial America. They have studied the religion, government, the founding fathers, and daily life of the 13 colonies. On Thursday students were able to enjoy the beautiful weather and try out some games similar to what colonial children would have played! They were able to draw similarities to modern day games and enjoyed learning how the games have evolved over time. It was a great day!
