Notebooking 4th Grade American History, Part 5

This will conclude the section of our notebook devoted to Early Presidents. Since we only covered the first seven presidents we are up to our final president to study, Andrew Jackson. As with the other presidents, we drew his portrait.

 We looked at the painting of Andrew Jackson by Thomas  Sully to help inspire our drawing.

 

We learned the words to the Battle of New Orleans and watched a video of it and our favorite one here,

 This first video is the one probably more people know the lyrics to but the one below is our favorite. 

We made a web about Andrew Jackson and  used some copywork to write about him.
.

After reading and writing about Andrew Jackson we learned how the native Americans were relocated and the Trail of Tears. We drew a picture to remind us of what we read. The section then ends with some famous quotes from the Early Presidents.

The next section we studied was Westward Expansion.
