Colonial Regions Posters

5th graders display and share what they have learned about the New England Colonial Region.

This group also did their research on the New England Region of the 13 original colonies.

The Southern Colonies were distinctly different from the Mid-Atlantic or the New England Colonies.

For the past 7 days all the 5th graders have been researching the three distinct regions of the 13 original colonies.  They were divided into groups of four students each and each student then researched a significant topic that shaped that region of the colonies.  These topics included the founding, geography, religion, slavery, plantations,  and economy.  The culmination of the project was a well designed poster  presented to their class.  Each student had the opportunity to share a summary of what they had learned.  The plan is to display the posters in the upstairs hallway so other grade levels can learn more about the colonial period as well.  We urge all to come take a look.
