in chapter 5 we learned about the fur trade that was going on in washington and oregon. we learned that the us got the west region of the united states because we had one of the first forts over there so we had claim to the land. we also learned about the different kinds of trading they did,they traded with the indians and the people that were travelng through.
in chapter 1 the things ill remember most is the rain shaddow affect. what i leaned is that the rain shadow is when the rain is let out on one side of a mountain so the clouds can lift and go over the mountains. when they get to the other side there is no rain over there. also this is important to the states history because during the wet season of the year, forks WA, gets a lot of rain and on the other side of the mountain there was no rain. if i had one question about the rain shadow affect it would be: how muc h rain does a cloud need to get over the mountains?
i learned so much about the crusades. also i learned that the crusades had the christian, muslims, and jews. the jews did not do that much tho. i liked using the wiki page to do the report because it was easy to answer the questions about the crusades. i also liked using the diigo because it was easy to take notes but the only bad thing was it was hard to highlight the information.

Dear Mom and Dad,
this trimester was great. In Sociol Studies we learned about the black death and about roman/ greek people. Also in language arts we learned about how to make great reds and yellows. In science we learned about the grand canyon and about erosion. also about taking notes, a lott of notes. in math i learned about graphing, and integers, and correlation. the next trimester will be as great ad this one. i will try to study harder for the tests. also i will do my homework at the same time everyday and i will make a place for me to do my homework. last i will work harder on my assignments.
