Half way there!

Alright, 3rd quarter is here and that means the school year is half over. Hard to believe isn't it! Today we cleaned out our folders to start totally fresh for our next unit.

Over the next few weeks we will be discussing US history. This unit covers the 1900-1999. (I know, that's a lot of history!) What I do to make it more manageable is break things down by the decade. We started today with 1900-1910 and we just try to hit the major highlights.

The students do have an informal assignment for tonight. I'd like them to talk to you about when your family came to the US and share any stories you might have.
