Back In Time

Welcome to a new week! It is supposed to be warming up outside this week and finally going to feel like fall, instead of winter!

This week the students are going to be journeying back to the 1800's! We will be looking at life in this time period and comparing and contrasting the two time periods. I look forward to the students reactions to the 1800's!
