The students in the classroom of Mrs.Preston 5th Grade Social Studies class they are learning about European Exploration. The following report is about how research has changed over the years...

First, the students learned about a number of different people including Prince Henry, Vasco De Gama, and Bartoloumea Dias. In this lesson they learned about what they did for their country.

Next, they learned about what these explorers did to have an impact on our country. The homeroom's teacher Mrs. Preston gave us an inside look on how Social Studies had changed. She told us That when researchers found out that Columbus did'nt find America teachers didn't adapt easily to this idea, and it probably confused teachers of the time.

Last, the students started talking about the founding of Jamestown and the lost colony of Roanoke Island. For further information on the student's progress go online to our website at KETV Newswatch 7.
