• 8th Grade 

    Welcome to Gifted Social Studies!  What can you expect for 8th grade? Here is my Welcome Letter and expectations and the comprehensive 8th grade Syllabus. In 8th grade, we will continue to work on essential skills, but our focus will be more on becoming analysts.  The evaluation of text and historical events will be the foundation of our daily activities.
