Performing Arts Opportunity
Hey kids! Do you like to perform in front of an audience? Here's your chance! Our class will be presenting the musical The Adventures of Louis and Clark at the end of the year. This musical will help you understand the significance of Louis and Clark's exploration of the Pacific Northwest in a fun and entertaining way. We will be rehearsing every Friday after school in the Multi-purpose room. More information will be sent home at a later date.
Synopsis of The Adventures of Louis and Clark
In 1804, the United States, under the leadership of President Thomas Jefferson, commissioned Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to travel, explore and chart the new territories of the Louisiana Purchase. These brave men, and their companions, York, Charbonneau, Sacajawea, along with their trusty dog, Scannon, traveled up the Missouri River, over the Rocky Mountains, and down the Columbia River, all the way to the Pacific Ocean.

Fifth Grade Social Studies
Social Studies
The PowerPoint presentation is the approach I used to introduce the activity to my 5th grade students.This unit I developed to enhance and engage students in studying the American Revolution. I converted all the lessons in units 5 & 6 in the Scott Foresman social studies into physical and mental challenges. Please click on the link to view the presentation.
