Wow - we have done so much learning this week about the first English colonies in North America. Today, we talked about what our lives may be like had these brave people NOT been persistent and kept trying to build a new colony. We also talked about how these people shouldn't have thought they had the right to take land and resources from the native people who lived in these areas.
Today's final lesson was on the first 13 colonies in America. Look at the links on the right hand margin to visit some interesting sites on the first 13 colonies. Be able to name and identify all 13 colonies on a map, including correct spelling. This will be an extension of Chapter 5, and not included on the test on Wednesday. For our Chapter 5 test on Wednesday next week, study the vocabulary preview sheet we did at the beginning of the chapter (see words below). Also, know the main people from each lesson and why they were important to the success of the colonies. Have your Lesson 4 assignment (represent information in some way visually) ready to turn in on Tuesday.
My math class has box page 149 to finish (unless it was done in class). Also, spelling unit 17 contract work and test will be on Wednesday!
Have a great weekend and enjoy looking at some of the 13 colonies sites!

charter, stock, cash crop, indentured servant, Northwest Passage, Pilgrim, Separatist, Puritan, John White, Squanto, Henry Hudson, Jamestown, Roanoke, beaver fur trading, New France, Samuel de Champlain, breadbasket, tobacco, William Penn
