Hello 8th graders!

The end of the year is approaching fast! This warm weather is fantastic so make sure you get outside and enjoy it!!! Over the next 2 weeks please continue to work a little on our history choices.  Some of you may be doing a little daily (like listening to the Upfirst podcast) while others of you may just do one longer thing each week (like take a historic hike or watch a movie). Some of you can also count our Friday Zoom meetings as you work (as long as you say or chat something!!!) This is okay! As long as you do something things are good! Please make sure you continue to email or share your docs with me so I can put them in my grade book and provide feedback.  

The link for this Friday's Zoom at 2 is in your email!

I miss you all!

Ms. Bisbee

Please do what you are interested in! Let your talents and passions guide your choices as you continue your civic and history journey! Please just make sure you share your work with me through email.  This is how I can give you feedback and keep track of what folks are working on.  It is also helpful for you to share with with a parent and any special education teachers you might work with so that we are all in the same loop!
