Day 1


To begin our Oregon Trail journey, each student in the class will start his/her own blog to make journal entries. We are starting this at the beginning of the week so the students can make new posts each day including the information they learned about the Oregon Trail. Each student will be expected to write three paragraphs about their journey in the form of a creative writing paper. This will allow me to view each student's writing through a fun assignment.




I am looking foward to reading each journal entry, and I hope the students enjoy this assignment. By sending the link of your child's blog to you, you will be able to view his/her blog as well. This will give you an opportunity to see what we are learning about in class, view your child's writing, and talk to your child about what he/she is discovering about the Oregon Trail. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me!



Let the journey begin!
