Spring Break has come to an end & we can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!
5th graders in Mrs. Hink's class are studying King George the Third. She says:
"No taxation without representation candy simulation: my green table is my parliament (they don't pay taxes), I have 2 students going around collecting my skittle taxes. And everyone else is a colonist, and are being taxed by the teacher (King George the 3rd). This gives the students and ideas of what it was like to be a colonist and why they became so angry with King George and the meaning behind 'No taxation without representation'"
