We are learning about migration and the reasons people move about the country.  Students applies their knowledge of regions in the United States to determine what region they would like to live in someday and why.  The Southeast and West were the two most popular regions according to our class.  We discussed reasons for this and applied logic from class like the five themes of geography to explain why people would move or migrate to these regions.

Geography

We are learning about the mountain ranges of the USA - specifically the Rockies and the Appalachian. We are comparing and contrasting them.
