Today in class, we experienced a Stamp Act simulation. Monica Berry came to our class and told the children that beginning on March 31st, students will need to pay 5 cents for items like bathroom visits, copy paper, pencils, and nurse passes. After Monica left, the children shared their feelings and what actions they would take based on their feelings. We then connected their responses to the start of the American Revolution where British Parliament created and enforced the Stamp Act.
Please know this was a simulation, and students do not need to pay for any school materials.
We encourage you to speak with your child tonight about this activity and the thoughts, concerns, and feelings they had.
