New Social Studies Unit

          Students will be starting a new Social Studies unit today with Ms. Christensen.  They will be focusing on the Southwest Region of the United States.  Unit Summary:

          The four states of the Southwest are characterized by landscapes of plains, deserts, and canyons.  The Pueblo Native Americans were the first people to call the region home and later Spanish conquistadors colonized the area.  People of the eastern United States finally settled in the region.  The region today boasts trade and high-technology industries as well as the oil and ranching industries.
