Week #1 Review and American Revolution Unit Outlook

Awesome 1st Week! Things should start to settle down and we are catching up in stride. What a busy first week. WheW!! Hopefully you and your family have caught your breath and adjusted to school life.

Social studies classes began with a brief review of the topics and events that will be studied in class. Our beginning unit will investigate the events leading to the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution. Upon unit completion, students should be able to describe how the colonists rights and freedoms were limited by the British government, state that the colonists wrote the Declaration of Independence to tell the world why they should be free and explain the consequences of the American Revolution.

Students have mapwork coming home tonight for homework that is due tomorrow (Tues).
Homework will also be assigned one more night this week (TBD)

Ask your child about the cyber-bullying assembly we had today. It was quite powerful.
