Different cultures celebrate differently in the winter months. We will learn how several cultures celebrate in the wintertime, as well as how Lewis and Clark celebrated Christmas on the trail.
How did children of Lewis and Clark’s time celebrate Christmas? We will find out through making some 19th-century gifts and treats!

After this lesson, students will be able to list aspects of soil composition; appreciate that soils are living and dynamic; recognize that soils vary in composition; describe where nutrients in soils come from; recognize that plants take up water and nutrients from the soil; and recognize that growing crops can deplete agricultural soil of nutrients.
After completing this lesson, students will be able to recognize that farmland is a resource; appreciate that the world's growing population demands an increase in food productivity; describe the role fertilizer plays in increasing food productivity; distinguish between organic and commercial fertilizers; describe how excess nutrients are harmful to the environment; and identify different sources of nutrient pollution.
After completing this lesson, students will be able to appreciate how soil properties contribute to plant health; recognize that nutrient deficiencies limit crop productivity; understand the role of fertilizer in growing crop plants and in restoring nutrient balance to agricultural soils; relate crop productivity to the need for more farmland; and describe challenges associated with feeding the world's growing population.

The Corps of Discovery built three temporary forts on their journey, but what did they use for day-to-day shelter? And what types of dwellings did they see in Native American villages? We will talk about how Lewis and Clark designed and built their forts; and how the Native American nations lived in their different homes...
