7th and 8th Grade Update!

7th Grade: The 7th Grade students are near the finish line of the Civil War Unit. They will demonstrate their mastery of the topic Friday November 18, 2011 on a cumulative Civil War Test. I feel confident all the students will do excellent on their exams. As a class we have done an in depth study of the people, places, things, and battles relevant to the Civil War and I have watched the students grow in their understanding of the material on a weekly basis. Next, we begin our Unit on Reconstruction.

8th Grade: The 8th Grade Students have worked diligently on their American Revolution/Declaration of Independence Unit. Our studies of this time period included an exploration of the current events in the Middle East. As a class the students compared the revolts in Egypt, Lybia, Tunisia, and Syria to the American Colonists and their revolt against King George III. The class discussion that followed was impressive. The Students will have a test on the American Revolution this week. Next, the students begin their Unit on Government!
