I hope everyone has wonderful and safe summer.  I do not assign summer work, but here is a list of some things you can do to learn history:

 

1. Read historical fiction or nonfiction books. 

2. When traveling this summer check out the history of the area you are visiting.  Look at the signs along the road that show historical spots.  If you can stop and take a look. 

3.  Visit local museums or historical sites in and around Cincinnati.  2 Presidents of the United States spent time in an around our area. One was born to the east of Anderson Township, and one is buried west of Anderson Township.

4. If you are driving on vacation, look at a map or MapQuest to plan your route.  It helps reinforce map skills. 

 

I will be attending a Teacher Institute in Baltimore, Maryland this summer and will be learning more about the American Revolution, War of 1812, and the American Civil War.  Part of the institute is touring historical sites.  We will be visiting Fort McHenry and the B&O Railroad Museum.  I will be visiting other historical sites on my drive to and from Balitmore.
