For the past few weeks students have been traveling West in America History. We looked at the effects of the Louisiana Purchase, the Mexican American War and the Gold Rush which opened the West for exploration and settlement. This week we dove into setting the stage for the Civil War. Students are learning how we tried to prevent a war with many different compromises as well as the events leading to the Civil War. Students should expect a test next Thursday over chapter 16. We will be investigating the Civil War in more detail when we return from spring break.
Also if you have any suggestions or if you are willing to help organize the eighth grade Service Day we are looking for ideas and helpers. Please contact me. Thank you so much.
