We've been reading and watching movies about the Revolutionary War this month- very, very inspiring.
Anjali recommends:
Liberty Kids, Netflix, 40 episodes following kids from the Boston Tea Party to the end of the war
Young Patriots: Inspiring Stories of the American Revolution by Marcella Fisher Anderson and Elizabeth Weiss Vollstadt. It's a series of stories about kids who helped to win the Revolution- a great read and discussion starter.
Heroines of the American Revolution: America's Founding Mothers by Diane Solcox-Jarret. Marvelous stories about women heroes in the Revolutionary War like Mary Lindley Murray the woman who stopped the British Army with a tea party. Amy was extremely moved, too, especially since I'd never heard of these women before.
Amy recommends:
Washington's Lady by Nancy Moser, historical fiction of Martha Washington's life
And slightly off topic, yet nonetheless inspiring and relevant
Biography of Robert E Lee and The End of the Civil War, Netflix
Hi Amy!!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to hear from you! Thanks for sharing your blog. I have seen a little of you on Angela's blog and it is fun to see all of you and hear your stories.
I can't wait to "dig" further into your blog and hear what your family has been up to. If you are interested you can see what me and my family have been up to over at our blog. Take care and enjoy the snow.
Love,
Rach
