January 18, 2007 - Land Ordinances

Before we get to land ordinances, Baby Liliana Ippolito is doing great!  Mr. and Mrs. Ippolito brought her home today and the whole family is doing well.

OK, now to history.  Today was a minimum day, but Ms. Vincent was still able to teach you about the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787.  This was an important first step in establishing how new lands would be handled in the United States.

Here's an interesting website if you'd like to learn more about the Northwest Ordinance.

Homework was vocabulary, and it is due at our next class.  Have a great weekend!
