Explorers Unit

This week we started our next Social Studies unit on Explorers. Students will study how early explorers such as John Cabot, Vasco Nunez Balboa, Juan Ponce de Leon, Christopher Columbus, Henry Hudson, and Jacques Cartier interacted with the Native Americans. We will also study the reasons for their explorations and the obstacles they faced. Students will also practice their map skills. Students should be familiar with continents and important European countries associated with this unit.
