- Description
-
We will become historians as we dive into the past and look at evidence of those whose footsteps we follow in. In U.S. History we will begin our journey by traveling back to the Age of Exploration! We will continue our journey towards the present day by stopping to study many new and fascinating topics along the way. Some of which include American Indian life, the Revolutionary War, and Constitutional issues. We will end our travels just after the Civil War when we learn about Reconstruction! I’m so excited to have you all in my class to go on this grand adventure with me!
