Hello! This last weekend of the month of January is certainly fact-filled and fascinating!
On January 24th, 1848, gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill in California, launching the California Gold Rush. A gold nugget at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History is believed to be the very first piece of gold discovered by John Marshall, who was supervising the construction of the mill for John Sutter. The news of the discovery of gold brought tens of thousands of settlers to California. America had just gained control of California from Mexico in 1847. You and build vocabulary with your class while learning about more important moments in American history with my collection of Social Studies Readers
Today, January 26th is officially Australia Day. Australia Day commemorates the founding of the first European settlement in Australia, in what is now Sydney. When many kids think of Australia, they think of all of the country’s unique animals, such as koalas and kangaroos. My reader Animals that Live in the Australian Desert is a great way to combine science, social studies, geography, and reading! This sixth-grade Level W reader takes a close look at animals found in the Australian desert and how they have adapted to life in this harsh environment of low rainfall and sweltering heat. Your students will learn about bearded dragons, desert dingoes, marsupial moles, the endangered bilby, and other animals of Australia.
