Eighth Grade Announcements AND Assignments!

Greetings and salutations!

Grades are currently being updated. They should be complete in a day or two.

This week, students have another current events assignment. The written portion is due first thing on Thursday, and the spoken presentation portion will be due on Friday. I am not requiring it to be on a historian this time, but it may not be on sports or entertainment news. Articles must be approved by me via email.

The Current Events Presentation Guide can be found here.



We are currently discussing and learning about the original thirteen English colonies that formed the United States of America. Students read and took notes on the three regions formed by those colonies, their climate and geography, their religious and ethnic diversity, and their economies. Complete notes in  student history notebooks will be checked on Tuesday. There will be a no-notes quiz on this material later in the week.
