Mrs. Pendleton's class are British historians!
During their last reading and writing units, Mrs. Pendleton’s class independently researched different time periods throughout British History. The students formed into 5 groups and researched 5 different time periods: The Romans (AD43-400), The Vikings (800-1066), The Tudors (1485-1603), The Victorians (1837-1901) and Britain during WW2 (1939-1945).
