8th Grade: This week, the 8th-grade students will be concluding Unit #3: Shifting Tides with a summative essay on Monday. After this, they will begin Unit #4: A Union Challenge & Changed. During this unit, they will explore the motives of both the North and the South during the Civil War, the key figures of the war, and the diverse perspectives surrounding the conflict.

 

History Day: All of the students have submitted their historical questions and thesis as of Monday. It was great to see the effort they put into their work up to this point. This week, they will begin their main historical research, which will consume a significant portion of their time on History Day. However, the outcome will definitely make it all worth it!
