Social Studies Supplementary Activities

Hi all!

Hope you're enjoying the break, and that the kids are doing their extra credit reading for Q2!

Below is a list of extracurriculars that will support 7th and 8th grade Social Studies content:

PBS's The Great War:

Q1 was a great quarter and we're well underway in our curricula! 7th graders learned about the late 1800s and will start off next quarter studying WW1 before moving into the roaring 1920s; 8th graders studied U.S. government last quarter and will start off by studying the early Cold War at the beginning of Q2.

Enjoy the break!
