SCHUYLERVILLE — Fort Ticonderoga educators visited Rebecca Nesbitt’s 7th grade social studies classes in Schuylerville recently to present “A Soldier’s Life,” a program that incorporates Revolutionary War-era history, geography, and math to help teach students about the daily experiences of American soldiers.
Students explored the equipment and food of Revolutionary soldiers and discussed the challenges of equipping and feeding an army in a remote location.
“The Soldier’s Life” presentation is given to hundreds of schools throughout the year in an effort to help students understand what they’re learning in their textbooks in a hands-on way.
