Welcome to Cross Cove

In social studies, we have finally begun to build our town.  We explored the landforms and natural resources and chose the best place to build our homes.  We have named our town Cross Cove.  We have planted crops and our cows and sheep are grazing in the pasture.  A few of the settlers decided to build their homes outside of the town.  I wonder how Jack, Will, Hamilton, and Stephen will get across the river when they need to come into town to buy supplies?
