"History cannot give us a program for the future, but it can give us a fuller understanding of ourselves, and our common humanity,  so that we can better face the future"

- Robert Penn Warren

 

Welcome back to school! Here is a list of supplies you will be needing for 7th and 8th grade Social Studies:
 
- notebook (preferably vinyl, as it holds up longer)
- folder
- pencils/pens
 
If you would like to try out the suggested color coded system, the color to have for Social Studies is BLUE. You will also need to cover your text book, either with paper or a book sock. There will be projects assigned throughout the year that might call for colored pencils, markers, poster board, etc.
 
Check this site often for homework postings, information about projects, news, pictures, and sites related to topics of study!

The following is something that has been learned/discussed/observed in class, you might want to ask your child about it! I will try my best to update this on a weekly basis.
