Welcome to 'A history of the United States'
In 8th grade our focus is on early American History. Some of the key concepts that we will be studying this year are: early exploration, colonization, The Revolutionary War, American Civics/The Constitution, growth and expansion, and finally the Civil War and Reconstruction.
Being an American citizen, I feel strongly about learning and understanding the history of our country. I challenge my students daily with more than dates and people, but with a deep understanding of the hows, whys, and the what would we do. I strive to make sure my students learn and understand not only the highlights in American history, but also the lows, so that we may not make the same mistakes again.
