Good Morning 7th Grade!

First of all, I am very proud on how a lot of you did on the Trimester! But the work must not stop there!

When we come back from our short vacation, we will be continuing with the 13 colonies.

Here is a fun game that you have to label all 13 colonies.

Please practice it. It will be on your next test.

The Time is Coming....

Hello,

Your test is about 36 hours away and I hope very much that all of you have been studying. This test has very easy and very challeneging parts.  To ease your stress I have found a prayer for you, in hopes that it will lessen your stress.

Lord Jesus,
Being fully human, as well as fully divine,
you know the pressures and stress that I face right now.
I ask that you guide me as I take this test,
so that I may do my best.
Help me to use the knowledge I have gained,
in this class and all my classes
to build up your kingdom,
for the good of all people. Amen
David Bennett

I am here every step of the way with you.

Test on Monday!!!!

TTest on Monday!!!!!!! Review dittos are being handed out tomorrow!


Any questions be sure to ask me during class!!

Extra help will be provided when asked!

Below is a quote from Mother Teresa. Quotes can tell us a lot about history. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, People may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, They may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway."
Mother Teresa

What we can learn from Indiana Jones?


Indian Jones was an archaeologist. How can someone like him teach us about history?

It is a job of a archaeologist to find rare artifacts from ancient civilizations and figure out how those artifacts were used.

Isn't it fun to learn about Indiana Jones in history? I think so!
