From Mr. Santiago,
How about adding a little fun to some learning? Below you will find links to U.S. History learning games. These sites should help with recall more than skill. In the weeks to come your students will be bringing home a regular skill activity to work on at home and to be signed off by parents. Be on the lookout for that work post spring break.
