Native American Jeopardy by Charles
We were learning about Early American cultural regions this week.  We learned how different tribes lived. Jeopardy helped us to study for our test.  It asked us questions like where the regions were at and what artifacts they used.  It was fun!

Skype with Mr. Malone by Grace
On Monday we talked with Mr. Malone through Skype because we were studying hurricanes last week and he fixes houses after hurricanes happen with Habitat for Humanity.  He is in New Orleans. He told us how much it costs for them to build a house and he said about 80 thousand dollars for only one tiny house. We also learned that he elevates the houses about 5 feet off the ground  so if it floods the water will not go in. It was so much fun!  See pictures and video of our Skype at the link below.
