March! March! March!

Let the MARCH towards Spring and Night of the Notables commence! These will be busy weeks leading up to March 26th and our evening event. Much, if not all, of your student's research, writing and Prezi production will take place during our 6 scheduled visits to the computer lab. Please cross your fingers for smooth technology sailing! Each student has selected an approved notable. They are required to read a biography on their person if one is available. If not, we will work to put together a collection of smaller print sources. Research on the notables era is strongly encouraged! Please ask to see their packet for expectations, due dates and the BIG 6 research process. In Washington State History we are moving on to study the tribal history of our region. This is a rich unit with complex intersections of culture. We will do a brief review of ancient history (much of this was covered in 4th grade) and delve more in depth into the impact of White settlement on Native culture.
