Colonial America

We have just completed the Explorer unit and are ready to begin studying 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 17th. There is no school October 18th and 19th.
