Students have completed the extensive unit on colonization and the Revolutionary War.  In the upcoming weeks we will focus on establishing the government for our new nation and westward expansion. Some key events and documents we will study are: The Constitution, Bill of Rights, 3 branches/3 levels of government, War of 1812, Lewis and Clark, and Manifest Destiny. This week we will be learning about how the framers of our new nation will work to establish a new government as well.  It is very important that students are participating in class and completing assignments and all will be successful in understanding this important part of U.S. History.
