Today, the SMMLC 4th and 5th Grade class, once again, traveled back in time to Boston, Massachusetts to take part in the Boston Tea Party! Huzzah!
Boston Tea Party Virtual Tour & Experience
Today we learned about the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution without leaving our home classrooms! Students played an active role debating taxation without representation, and the issues that pushed Massachusetts down the road to revolution. Our class then stormed aboard one of the eighteenth century replica vessels (the Beaver!) and casted off the yoke of tyranny by destroying the Crown’s tea. Students got a taste of what life was like in the eighteenth century by exploring below decks onboard one the vessels (the Beaver!) that was moored at Griffin’s Wharf that fateful night, December 16, 1774. Finally, students discovered how the Sons of Liberty successfully overcame obstacles to accomplish their goals, and achieve independence.
