This website will be where we can find more information for our 5th Grade Social Studies rotations. During the year we will be adding new information and adding pages. You can get around by using the links below, or by using the links found on the sidebar. Happy researching!- Mr Hanson

American Revolution: call it the American Revolution, or the Revolutionary War. Either way, this is when we will be studying how the colonies moved from being ruled by the British to their own independence. We will start with the events that led up to the revolution, then look at the people for/against independence, and finally the Declaration of Independence.

More information about Wikis!

Wikis don't make themselves. They are a product of hard work by lots of people as they add information, re-read what is written, and revise to make it clear for the reader. Below are two examples of wikis from other classes, in other states. Check those out for a reference too about what a wiki can grow into!
