Welcome! 

Picture
7th grade social studies covers lots of interesting topics about our nation's history.  The Civil War, World War I, immigrants from other lands, the Great Depression... these are just some of the things we'll be studying.  It will be a challenging and fun year!  Below is our class syllabus.  Please view it or print it out.  We'll be going over it in class but I won't be sending home paper copies unless you request one.
