Welcome to 8th Grade U.S. History

This is going to be an exciting year as we study the history of the United States of America! We will start with a mini review of geography. Our first "big" unit will be on Explorers. There is so much to cover this year: Colonial America, Revolutionary War, The Constitution and Founding Fathers, The War of 1812, Westward Movement, The Civil War and MORE!

I will send home email updates about important history information such as tests, projects, and activities. You can also access my website by clicking to the right of this post where it says "Mrs. Gibbons Website". On that website you will find class notes, copies of assignments, etc.

Looking forward to an FANTASTIC 2014-2015 school year! I know you will have fun learning the history of the AWESOME United States of America!
