YAY! See you later! <3 Melia

KFC Writing by Emma W and Isa

In KFC writing we are working on the “Who are the Americans” and “The war begins” packets. In those packets we are answering questions about the American Revolution.

If not, bring your Liberty Kids notes ( and your brain) They will help you alot!
