Hello! Welcome to 7th grade social studies.  This year we will be covering American History from the Civil War to present day. 

I hope you can use this website to find out what we are doing in class and print off any assignments a student may be missing. 

Extra Credit - You can play the mystery state game every week located at the bottom of this page.  There are also crosswords located on classzone.com for each chapter.  Use the link below to get to classzone.

Classzone.com - This is the web site that accompanies our textbook.  It is a great place to look to find additional information on subjects we discuss in class. There are practice quizzes for each chapter and extended resources.  Students can do the crossword that is associated with each chapter for extra credit.

Frequently Asked Questions - This sheet will help you with some of the questions you may have about social studies this year.
