Westward Expansion
Go West, fifth graders! The students have assumed pioneer roles and joined in wagon trains. The last few sessions have involved a lot of math as students decided the best date for their wagon train to head west and the supplies to take in their covered wagons. Students are recording their experiences in a "pioneer journal." On Fridays, we do "History Alive." It allows students to experience activities similar to those of the time period we are studying.
