Unit 5 Social Studies – French Explorers and Conflict
Read the pages available through the link. As we have discussed briefly, while the colonists have been establishing life in the 13 colonies, the other European explorers are still exploring other areas in The New World.
These pages give background information on the French. Specifically, there is a conflict (yes, WAR!) that arises between the French and Britain.
5th Grade Talent Show
The PBiS reward for February is to attend the talent show on Friday. Students with more than 6 yellows, a blue, or a red will not be permitted to attend. The STAND Students are asking for a $1 donation per person attending the show. All proceeds will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House at Children’s Hospital in Detroit.
