We will finish TALL TALES on Monday and begin learning about scientists and inventors who changed the story of America. We will review the life of Henry Ford and his assembly line that made automobiles more accessible and affordable. Then, we will discuss the life of Louis Daguerre who invented the daguerreotype-- one of the first ways people were able to quickly get a picture. We will finish up the week learning about Cyrus McCormick who invented the reaper and forever changed the way American farmers do business!
