Wednesday, April 22, is Earth Day. In this post, make a list of ways we can care for our planet. Here's the challenge - you may NOT repeat anyone's answers, so read your classmates' responses carefully. Responses that include complete and thoughtful answers may earn some marbles for the class. :)

Why Washington?

Over the past five hundred years, many different groups of people have come to the Pacific Northwest and settled here. Explorers, fur traders, missionaries, pioneers, immigrants, and Native Americans have all found something special about this region. In fact, people are still coming and settling in our state.

1. Why did the groups of people we have studied visit and stay in Washington? Please list at least THREE specific groups and their unique reasons.
2. In your opinion, why do people continue to settle in Washington? Please give at least THREE reasons.

Expectations: Please answer both questions with complete sentences by Wednesday, 4/22. Please respond to at least one classmate's post by Friday, 4/24. In response to a classmate's post, you may agree, disagree, or ask a question. Remember to include your student number at the end of your responses.
