Welcome to my virtual classroom!

Hi Huskies!


8th Graders I am so excited to be your tour guide on our adventure through U.S. history this year! This website will be an invaluable tool for you so be sure to save it to your favorites. I recommend spending at least 30 minutes a week exploring the links to games, information, pictures, videos and interactive websites related to the social studies standards we will cover in order to deepen your knowledge and understanding of our country's history.

Sixth Graders Click on the "More" button on the menu at the top of the page and you can find the links to all of the super fun units you'll cover in Social Studies this year. Feel free to let me know if you find a great new site I should add :).

Global Issues Elective We are not offering Global Issues this year, but if you're interested in finding out about the key issues people and the planet are facing, click on the "More" button on the menu at the top of the page. You'll see a link to the Global Issues page, which has hundred of links organized by topic. Great stuff!

Sample Title Pages from Previous Years

Road to Revolution in Pictures

​Take out your Road to Revolution Flow Map.

Start with picture 1. Look for clues and evaluate each picture and write the number of the picture next to the box/event on the Flow Map that you think is being depicted in the picture.

Be ready to 1) provide evidence for why the picture depicts that specific event on the flow map and 2) explain if the picture is a PRIMARY SOURCE or a SECONDARY SOURCE.
