Welcome to 8th Grade U.S. History

Welcome to Mrs. Gibbons' U.S. History class. It is going to be an exciting year as we study the history of the United States from the beginnings to 1877. We will begin the year with a review of Native Americans and U.S. Geography. Both of these topics will continue throughout our studies this year. Our first big unit is on Explorers. Other units to look forward to are: Colonies, The Revolutionary War, the Constitution/Government, The War of 1812, Westward Movement, and the Civil War. There is so much to learn in only one year!

I look forward to getting to know each of my students as we learn about the roots of our awesome country!
