Declaration of Independence 1776

This unit study has been on Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence. We read many books and made our timeline picture. We made paper and wrote a part of the Declaration on that paper. It was great fun...
Q&A:
Robyn
Q: What do you remember about Thomas Jefferson?
A: Ummmm His dad died when he was young. His dad said before he died "I want my son to have a good education." So when Thomas was older he received a good education. His dad left him TONS of books. He wrote the declaration of Independence. He had red hair. He got married.
Q: What is the Declaration of Independence?
A: It was a paper that said we wanted to be free from England and King George because they were taxing us like crazy. It was a miracle because all thirteen colonies signed it.
