Families did some last minute completions before heading off from Independence, Missouri. During morning meeting we discussed Missouri weather--hot in the summer, cold in the winter and their "extreme weather" (tornados, hail, lightning). Next, we compared the population size in 1860 compared to that of 1880 in some of the Western states--in particular, Utah's population quadrupled in ten years due to Mormon's quest for religious freedom. Also, the first day of reading groups are off to a really successful start, and thank you to those of you who checked in/helped your child with the chapter 1 reading. The chapters are filled with information, so reading twice (once in class, once at home) will help.
Homework for tonight is to:
1. Read Chapter 2 of Bound for Oregon and complete job.
3. spelling
