Washington and Fitzgerald: Promises and Possibilities

This week, it's F. Scott Fitzgerald for the 8th graders and the administration of Washington with the 7th graders. We progress, we strive, we struggle, and we learn. Such becomes the basic mantra of 7.8/3 Social Studies.
For 7th graders, click here for the work we will be doing on Wednesday and Thursday on political parties.
All best.
