MRSD Distance Learning for Grade 5 Packet 4: May 5-May18 Dear MRSD Families,

As we release this next Distance Learning Activity Packet, please allow us to express our heartfelt appreciation for the efforts you’re making to ensure students’ most important needs are met, and to reassure those who worry if they’re “doing it right,” or “doing enough” that we are here to help and not to judge. If you’re doing what you can do – you’re doing it right, and we appreciate your support at home, in whatever capacity you are able to offer! Thank you!

We know this is a challenging time for families – with competing priorities, uncertainty and isolation, and we want to reaffirm that we stand with you in ALWAYS putting family first! As the expert on your child, you’re in the best position to decide what, when and how they engage in the learning we’ve designed, and you have our full backing in limiting (or adding to) the amount of school work they experience, based on your individual circumstance.

We invite you to reach out with specific questions, worries, or needs you may have. Please know that we’re in this TOGETHER, and your school partners are here to help.

In gratitude, K-5 Staff

15 Paul Revere

Paul Revere was a patriot in the American Revolution. He is most famous for his ride and warning to the colonists that the British were coming.

Where did Paul grow up?

Paul Revere was born in December 1734 in Boston, Massachusetts. His father was a silversmith and Paul would grow up to be a silversmith as well.

The Sons of Liberty

Paul Revere soon became active in the Sons of Liberty, a political group of American Patriots who wanted liberty for the colonies. Other famous members included John Adams, John Hancock, Patrick Henry, and Samuel Adams.

He was involved in the Boston Tea Party and may have been at the Boston Massacre as well.

Paul Revere's Ride

In April of 1775 the British Army was stationed in Boston and rumor had it that they were about to make a move on the leaders of the Sons of Liberty and other American Patriots. The Sons of Liberty were watching the British closely so they could warn the colonists if they started to attack.

Two main riders were to set out and warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock in Lexington. Paul Revere would go across the Charles River to Charlestown and then to Lexington. William Dawes would ride a longer, but different route. This

16 way, hopefully one of them would make it there safely to warn Adams and Hancock. There also were other riders that Revere and Dawes would tell along the way. They would pass the warning on to other locations.

There was one other warning system that Paul Revere put in place just in case none of the riders made it. Robert Newman was to set lanterns in the steeple of the Old North Church to alert the colonists in Charleston. He would put one lantern if the British were coming by land and two if they were coming by sea. There is a famous phrase about this event "one if by land, two if by sea".

It was during the night on April 18-19 in 1775 when the British began to move. They were coming to Lexington by the Charles River, or "by sea". Dr. Joseph Warren told Revere and Dawes the news and the riders set out.

Revere was the first to arrive in Lexington. Dawes made it about half an hour later. There they warned John Hancock and Samuel Adams. They decided to ride toward Concord to warn the militia there. However, they were detained by British soldiers. They managed to escape and Paul Revere walked back to where John Hancock was staying so he could help Hancock and his family to escape Lexington.

Why was the ride important?

The warning given to the colonists and the militia by the riders enabled them to be prepared and fight off the British army's initial attack.

Later Life

Paul would serve in the American Army during the revolution. After the war he went back to his silversmith business expanding to other areas. He died on May 10, 1818.

Sybil Ludington

By Jone Johnson Lewis Dates: April 5, 1761 - February 26, 1839 Known for: midnight ride in American Revolutionary War Also Known as: the "female Paul Revere" (she rode about twice as far as he did on his famous ride). Married name: Sybil Ogden.

About Sybil Ludington:

Sybil Ludington was the eldest of twelve children. Her father, Colonel Ludington, had served in the French and Indian war. As a mill owner in Patterson, New York, he was a community leader, and he volunteered to serve as the local militia commander as war with the British loomed.

When he received word late on April 26, 1777, that the British were attacking Danbury, Connecticut, Colonel Ludington knew that they would move from there into further attacks in New York. As head of the local militia, he needed to muster his troops from their farmhouses around the district, and to warn the people of the countryside of possible British attack.

Sybil Ludington, 16 years old, volunteered to warn the countryside of the attack and to alert the militia troops to muster at Ludington's. The glow of the flames would have been visible for miles.

She traveled some 40 miles through the towns of Carmel, Mahopac, and Stormville, in the middle of the night, in a rainstorm, on muddy roads, shouting that the British were 18 burning Danbury and calling out the militia to assemble at Ludington's. When Sybil Ludington returned home, most of the militia troops were ready to march to confront the British.

The 400-some troops were not able to save the supplies and the town at Danbury -- the British seized or destroyed food and munitions and burned the town -- but they were able to stop the British advance and push them back to their boats, in the Battle of Ridgefield.

More About Sybil Ludington:

Sybil Ludington's contribution to the war was to help stop the advance of the British, and thus give the American militia more time to organize and resist. She was recognized for her midnight ride by those in the neighborhood, and was also recognized by General George Washington.

Sybil Ludington continued to help as she could with the Revolutionary War effort, in one of the typical roles that women were able to play in that war: as a messenger.

In October, 1784, Sybil Ludington married lawyer Edward Ogden and lived the rest of her life in Unadilla, New York until her death on Feb 26, 1839.

Her hometown was renamed Ludingtonville in honor of her heroic ride. There is a statue of Sybil Ludington, by sculptor Anna Wyatt Huntington, outside the Danbury Library.
