History in action



A message from Ms. Izzy:

Stephen Shaw, a Color Guard member of the Connecticut Sons of the American Revolution came in on Monday June 14th to speak to our 4/5's about Nathan Hale and the Nathan Hale Schoolhouse. The students enjoyed learning more information that directly relates to our km2 Selborne Project. Mr. Shaw informed us about the personal history of Nathan Hale, why he became a spy and his ultimate sacrifice for his country. We also learned of the many different locations of the Nathan Hale Schoolhouse. Mr. Shaw also dressed in his traditional colonial uniform and brought in his reproduction musket.

Many thanks to Ms. Izzy for arranging for Mr. Stephen Shaw to visit and share with our 4/5 students.
