Our Project W.O.W. group learned about the Lewis and Clark expedition. We spent four months researching this expedition. We learned about Thomas Jefferson, Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, The expedition, Native Americans, Sacagewea, York, plants, animals, foods, and the journey westward. We did a variety of activities which included posters, worksheets, a newspaper article, watched a video, and made our web site. We had a lot of fun working as a team on this project.
