Social Studies Update Week of 9/3/94
Greetings 8th Grade Families!
Last week students finished up their work on the Constitutional Convention. Students were tasked to list the pros and cons of the following conflicts:
This week students will begin to learn about the different parts of the Constitution. We will start by translating the different lines of the Preamble to understand the kind of government that the Founding Fathers wanted to create and then decide if the country is living up to those ideals. Students will then learn about the three branches of government and what each branch is responsible for. In this discussion we will learn about checks and balances and how each branch plays a role in making sure that no one branch becomes too powerful.
As we are progressing through the first quarter, I would like to invite you all to regularly check Infinite Campus to check on your student's grades and identify any incomplete or missing assignments that may need to be finished.

The following link will help you set up the Infinite Campus App, which is nice to have as you can set it to notify you whenever a grade is entered for your student. https://1.cdn.edl.io/X3X3DBQ7iIoHx1h6P5aI99A0RyC52XnQd9k5SnwDVIODKHgl.pdf
