United States History 

Currently we are studying the thirteen English colonies and how they were established.  The next chapter looks specifically at the colonial way of life in New England, the Breadbasket and the South.  The students are expected to know which of the Thirteen original colonies belonged to which area and how each colony was established.  There is a great chart on page 115 of their textbooks to help them study.
