We have been working very hard on Westward Expansion. The class discovered that the Louisiana Purchase was integral to the growth of the United States.
We have had a fabulous time learning about wagon trains, how they were made, what they carried and how they were driven.
The class has also worked extensively on the transcontinental railroad. They have researched it and created a train.
The reports and projects have certainly piqued the childrens interest. Enjoy the pictures!
