Monday - Labor Day- No School- For a short explanation of why you have today off, click here.

Tuesday - Today we will be studying our quest to go from sea to shining sea. In order to visualize how we fulfilled our Manifest Destiny, we will view an animated atlas. This is a 10 minute movie that shows how the United States went from the Atlantic to the Pacific. We will then create a list of factors that pushed emigrants out of Europe and pulled them to the United States. We will finish the day by studying the faces of immigrants by looking through an article dealing with immigration at the turn of the century. History Social Science Standard 11.2.2
