7th grade Social Studies: We study geography and then the regions of Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America, Europe and Russia. Some highlights include hosting a Culture Fair for the elementary students as well as visiting Ft. Atkinson Rendezvous Days in the fall. 8th grade US History: We study American History from colonization through reconstruction. Class curriculum includes a colony selection simulation and deciphering clues to the Boston Massacre. Investigations and primary source documents are used to help students become active historians. The 8th graders conclude their year with a trip to the State Capitol in Des Moines. |
