8th Grade Field Trip to PA

I hope all of the 8th graders out there enjoyed the trip to PA today! I personally enjoyed the lunch St. Joe's Prep provided for us, the Freedom Rising show and the various hands on activities they offered.

I would like to take this trip next year but it is imperative we are on our best behavior when leaving the school. I am so excited we have these opportunities and I would like for them to continue.

I have read your thank you letters and I would like to say I am very impressed with a lot of them! Thank you for your thoughtful responses.

7th grade- thanks for being understanding with the classes you have had recently when I haven't been there. I count on you guys to help out when called upon and it seems like you are all coming through!

I look forward to tomorrow. I am at school right now getting the classroom ready for you guys...how does it get so messy???

Best Regards,

Mr. O

The Final Stretch

8th Graders,

This is it gentleman, please make sure you are reading chapter 11 and completing the guide to reading questions. Make sure to also be reading up on the civil war outside of class to build even better background knowledge.

Question for comments...what do you think the biggest contributor to the start of the Civil War? Why?

Post what you think!
