  1. That was so much fun! Amrita and I thought that finding the secret passages/codes was amazing, because it was so similar to solving a mystery which the abolitionists used to help the slaves seek freedom!

  2. So glad you and Amrita found it fun to learn about this very important historical event. On Monday please remind me to add the word abolitionists to our word wall.
