Lesson Plan Enrichment

Often time teachers look for ways to make lesson stronger or more interesting for student. A classic topic that is often not as exciting as it could be is learning about the oregon trail. I saw many good ideas for journals students can keep and other activities. 

Another way to enhance this lesson plan would be to allows students toplay the game Oregon trail and experience what it may have been like first had on the Oregon trail. They can use some of the experiences they have in the game to help with the journal. I would buy the game for the class because none of the online versions are that great.

Buy the game on Amazon

Games that are educational.

Here are two of my favorite sites for children to play games
Cool Math Games
Brain POP

Specifically on Cool Math Games, B-Cubed is educational and challenges students to think mathematically and logically.
