 Today's lesson

1. Week 4 VW and definition 

2. History of the story Lewis and Clark and Me ~ the Louisana Purchase 

The Louisiana Purchase was a large land deal between the United States and France in 1803. President Thomas Jefferson bought this land to help the U.S. grow. After the purchase, he sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on an expedition to explore the new territory west of the Mississippi River.

In Lewis and Clark and Me, the story follows Seaman, a big Newfoundland dog, who traveled with Lewis on this journey. Seaman helped the men by swimming, hunting, and protecting them. The expedition was important because it mapped new lands, met Native American tribes, and helped the U.S. understand the West.

This connection shows how Seaman played a small but important role in American history, as he was part of one of the most famous journeys in the U.S.
