7th Grade: 7th grade students are beginning their unit on Reconstruction (1865 -1877), the twelve year period following the Civil War. The students will begin this unit by looking at what the country was facing politically, economically, and emotionally after the Civil War. In addition, they will engage in discussions and activities which will help them to understand the fate of the Southern States during these years as they attempted to recover and rebuild.
8th Grade: 8th grade students are starting their Government Unit. More specifically, the students are developing an understanding of how The United States of America had to move quickly to establish some form of government after their win of the Revolutionary War. Over the next couple of weeks we will examine the successes and failures of creating what is now our United States Constitution, The Supreme Law of Our Land.
