The California Gold Rush

This video gives a lot of information on the California Gold Rush that was not discussed in class.  What are some new pieces of information that you learn from the video?  Did you hear any of the Amazing Words we learned in class?

How to Pan for Gold..

Hello 5th Graders,
 
While we were discussing ghost towns and the Western frontier, many of you were asking how people pan for gold.  Well, here is a video that explains just how it is done. Notice how the task is tedious and redundant.  Would you like to pan for gold?  Why or why not? 

BOGGLE!

Here is a link to play the awesome word game, Boggle.
 
Enjoy!
