February History

February 2018 Apprentice

"Let Your Light so Shine"
Early America and the Revolution





Study/Learn


1 - Read in "The Story of the World: Vol. 3" Ch. 22 and 23
2- Write down 3 of your favorite things that you learned from each chapter.
3- Remember the 13 original colonies?  Memorize them again!  
4- Memorize the Preamble!  Remember we did this in American Leadership week, but I didn't come!  Keep working on it!
5- OPTIONAL:  Start Memorizing this poem "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere," by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow  It's a fantastic poem that you could be proud of memorizing!

We will not actually be going over this stuff in class because we will be going to the printing press with the Vanguard students.  Unfortunately, the fee will not be covered for Vanguard Jr. because I have need of those funds for other activities this year.  It is $5/person.  The good news is, there will not be any other Vanguard Jr. Fees!

Become/Serve

-The theme for Vanguard this year is light. We will be going on a field trip to the Historic Crandall Printing Museum.  In that museum you will see examples of three different printing presses.  Each of these presses brought forth more light in the world. Gutenberg, by putting books and especially the scriptures into the hands of the people. The press that the Declaration of Independence was printed on, by bringing more light to the world with the beginning of the United States and the first republic.  And then the press the Book of Mormon was printed on, bringing the light of the restored gospel back to earth.  These are only three examples of an invention that has brought forth more light to the world.  What are some other things that have brought more light into the world. Journal for 10 minutes.
