History

In history Hank has learned about the pilgrims, the revolutionary war, the civil war.  We have created a wagon train and made hard tack.  We also went to Ft. Clatsop.  So I asked him today what he remembered and here it is.
The pilgrims found this place. The came from England because they hated the rules there.  The Boston Tea Party started a war.
The Constitution is the rules.  George Washington was the first president.
Lewis and Clark were sent by Jefferson to find the Pacific Ocean.
The civil war was between the north and south.  Lincoln was the president.  He died.  They were fighting over slaves.  The slaves won.
Reconstruction moved the slaves north to bring the country together
The flag has 13 strips for the colonies and 50 stars for the states.

For Hanks 'research paper' we did a lot of reading and watching you tube videos.  He had to choose the things he thought were most important then write his own sentences about them.  Then he had to decide what went together to make paragraphs. He typed the paper himself and posted it to his blog all by himself.  I was going to get his sister to help. 
Last night after he posted to his blog he found a website that told him all the Thomas and Friends character names in Hawaiian.
