1st Six Weeks

Welcome to your First Six Weeks of US History! During the First Six Weeks we cover the Era of Exploration and Colonization! We start out with a general overview of Geography and take off from there into Exploration. After Exploration, we dive into the settlement of the 13 Colonies and become familiar with the different economic, political, social, and geographical reasons for the settlement of the English Colonies. So get ready to hit the ground running August 28th!
