Monday, February 7th

First - got organized!

 
Next, we began Pre-Columbian History!
  • Discussed Primary and Secondary sources...
  • Learned what Pre-Columbian means...
  • Found out what we will be exploring in this unit...
  • Talked about what was here before there was a a country or colonies...
  • Looked at some pics Pre-Columbian compared to today (Manhattan island circa 1500 and NY today!)
  • Read some primary sources/stories - Coronado and Verrazano - what these first Europeans saw at the earliest observations of this country! Fun stuff!

Manhattan island 1500 and today!
