It allows the class to think about how what is happening //now// and what was happening //then// are linked! We will use this page to post articles that we find on the internet throughout the year. As a class we will post our thoughts about these events on the discussion board and find out what other fifth grade students think about these topics as well!

You, the students, will manage this page! The world wants to know what fifth graders think is important in the news so post links to your favorite articles anytime you would like!
