7th and 8th Grade Update!

7th Grade: 7th Grade students are still hard at work on their Civil War Unit. Currently, we are finishing the issues that led to the separation of the country into the Union and the Confederacy. The students now will embark on the course of events which took place from 1861 - 1865. I know there have been some challenges along the way which have set us back. So the Test has been postponed until next week. I will update later with a more specific date. Also, parents, progress reports were sent home. If there are any questions please feel free to contact Ms. Van Borkulo and we can address your concerns.

8th Grade: 8th grade students are now at the start of the American Revolution. We have finished all the events leading up to the War, and now the fun begins. This Unit is filled with so much history about how our country was formed and the men responsible for the outcome. The homework assignments will increase as we move through this Unit. However, I have complete confidence in the eighth graders. Additionally, there is a Test on Chapter 5 this Thursday September 22, 2011. I will post study questions Wednesday. Finally, progress notes did go home, if any parent or guardian has questions, please feel free to contact Ms. Van Borkulo .

Open House 2011!

Thank you everyone who came to open house. What a wonderful evening it was for me and truly a treat to see familiar faces and to meet new families. Please feel free to contact me anytime for any reason. Again, thank you for making my night so special,
Ms. Van Borkulo

7th & 8th grade Update!

7th Grade: Students are working hard on their Pre-Civil War unit. There is much information for them to learn and I am very proud of the effort and attention each student is putting forth. The Next Test will be on Friday September 9th. I will post study questions Thursday September 8th so students can prepare their note cards!

Parents, Tomorrow your students will have their graded notebooks and previous test returned. This will allow any who are interested to take a look at what we are doing in class.

8th Grade: Students are continuing the Road to Revolution. We are about to reach, "The Shot Heard Around The World." So far this year is progressing fantastic!

Parents, Your students have several graded homework assignments in their notebooks as well as one test under their belts. The next exam is Friday September 9th. I will post study questions on Thursday the 8th.
