Westward Movement

Congratulations to the students for the great work during our unit on the United States Government! We are currently studying Westward Movement. We will be learning about: The Louisiana Purchase, Lewis and Clark, The War of 1812, the Monroe Doctrine, the Gold Rush, Pioneers, the Trail of Tears, the Mexican American War, and the Alamo. One highlight of this unit is our "Panning for Gold" simulation.
