7 & 11 March



Today's starter was: Humans use a wide variety of transportation - please list any types of transportation that you have used.

I passed back the Lewis & Clark 6th grade booklets - the highest grade that you could have received on this assignment was a 35.  If you would like to re-do any part of the booklet you are more than welcome to.

I also passed back the Jefferson Era packets.  It is important that you keep these because this packet has the essential standards for the first third of our next test.  This test will be taken during fourth term.  Because this test is still a few weeks away, we took a practice test on the first third of the test today.

We finished off today's work by introducing the idea of the Erie Canal.  We did this by starting a Modern Marvels video on the canal.  We will finish this video next time.
