1.  Connecting the dots
 (Need four plan sheets and script sheet--Pick a theme)
2.  Online book project (Leaving your legacy--Need one plan sheet) 
3.  Creating your legacy (google doc days)--Make your own plan sheet--See me. 
4.  Seeing the world with new eyes!!!  How has this class changed and impacted your thinking?  

Mr. Holman will give overviews of each types of assignment.

Well students of CMS, the year is almost done.  In one short week you will officially be eighth graders!  You guys have done a great job this year and hopefully you take the skills and lessons learned with you the rest of your life.  Remember, always set big goals, hold yourself responsible for reaching those goals and never stop expecting more from your education.

Below is a short survey concerning social studies class and CMS in general.  The answers to this survey help Mr. Holman and I reflect on how we teach.  It also helps me began conversations with the school district about changes that could be made to help your learning experience be even better!  This, like all the surveys we have completed this year, is YOUR chance to have an active voice in your education. 
Thanks for a great school year!
