This Unit is flying by and we are already halfway there.  Students did a great job at the Town Hall Meeting this last friday!  If you couldn’t make it please ask them what part they played and how they did, they all did a great job and I am very proud of them.  This week we are moving on from the just talking about the people who traveled westward to the economics that it played.  We are going to get into the how economic development changes the physical environment of a region.  Today we talked about the National Road, and the economic reasons to which it was build, but also to why more roads took longer to be build after it.

I have a lot of good pictures of your kids, during the Town Hall Meeting but I will have to put them up later this week! Have a great week!
