Colonial America

Iowa testing is complete and we are ready to begin the unit on Colonial America. During the month of October the students will: Identify the the 13 colonies and determine why each was settled; differentiate economic, political, social and geographic aspects of the New England, Middle and Southern colonies; and discover the events that led up to the American Revolution. We will be mapping, creating 3 voice poems, learning about school during the 1600 and 1700's, and more!

The end of the first quarter is October 15th. There is no school October 16th and 19th.
