Grade 4: Wagons West

Come with us on a journey to the Oregon Territory! We start with an auction where your "family" will bid on necessary items for your trek west. The students will make all the decisions themselves before we set out on our trip and then, as we progress over the course of 45 minutes, find out if they made wise choices. Using maps, a slide show and video clips, we will look at several landmarks along the way and actually calculate how far we have traveled. And the students will find out what it was really like to travel across the Great Plain, rivers and mountains to finally arrive in Oregon.
