Greetings 8th Grade Families!

This week students will be looking at the advantages and disadvantages of the North and South as the Civil War began. We will then start to look at the battles of the Civil War. To kick this off, we will revisit which chess pieces students thought their biography characters would be and come up with the 16 chess pieces for our 8th grade A  vs. C class chess match. We will then switch gears as we start to prepare for the Civil War Reenactment Fundraiser which will take place on Thursday, March 21st. 

I wanted to remind you that on Wednesday the 8th grade students will be going on a field trip to the History Colorado Museum where they will learn about the Native American tribes of Colorado. Remember that on Wednesday students will need a sack lunch that does not need microwaved.

Please email me with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Mr. Rowan
