Welcome parents, students, LPA staff, and all others who are visiting my blog this year. I apologize about the delay in getting my welcome letter to you all, however, I was experiencing some technical difficulties which are now all better.
As expected the school year has started and we are going full speed ahead. First I would like to mention how excited I am about our middle school students and staff. From teachers to students, all seem energized and open to all this year has to offer.
7th Grade: 7th grade students are in the midst of uncovering the events which led to the countries divide in the mid 1800's and eventually to the Civil War. We are currently studying events and issues which caused the country to split. The topics include Slavery, States Rights, and all the problems that arose because of these two very important issues.
8th Grade: 8th grade students are beginning The Road to the American Revolution. As a class we just finished an in depth study of the French and Indian War which took territory from the French and gave the British full control over the 13 Colonies in North America. Now with the British in control we will begin to unravel the tensions which arose between the Colonists and the British to lead to the eventual break down of their relationship and consequently push them to war.
