8th Grade. You know we had fun last year. This year we are going to have even more. More movies, more 'breaking-the-tradition' fun. Get ready because here we go....
This year you'll discover the past of our great country.
We'll start with the forming of the colonies (reminding you of what you learned in 5th grade), then off to the Declaration of Independence when we tell Britain "it's not you, it's us, I'm sorry but it's over"
The US Constitution as we explore the current election of our next President.
Federalists
The birth of political parties
The new American lifestyle
Our early foreign policy
Moving West over the Appalachian Mountains.
The development and explosion of slavery
Lewis and Clark, Texas, Native Americans -- expansion
Abolition or the move to end slavery
The War between the States (The Civil War)
Reconstruction -as we destroyed our own land
New Economy
I can't wait to see what you will create. In the comment section below tell me something you are excited about learning this year.
