✨ Mr. Duby’s 7th Grade World History Spotlight! ✨
Last week, our students stepped into the shoes of historians, architects, and leaders as they presented the civilizations they designed from scratch! 🌍🏛️
From government systems and cultural traditions to geography and innovation, each group showcased incredible creativity and deep understanding of what makes a civilization thrive. We are so proud of their hard work, teamwork, and imagination!
Great job, 7th graders — the future of world history is in good hands! 👏🔥

Students in Mr. Phil Schwedler’s 8th Grade US History class took a journey back to 1872 as they studied artwork to figure out what people believed and why they moved west. 🎨📜
Working in Building Thinking Classrooms, students teamed up to identify Push/Pull Factors and create their own class definition of Manifest Destiny. Great teamwork and awesome thinking! 🤝✨
