Grade 7

The students will be starting Chapter 6 which focuses on the War of 1812. Students will be learning the events, people and places that were important during this time period. We will look at the short and long term effects of the war; as well as, what caused the war to happen in the first place.

Grade 8

Due to the snow day, the students will have 1 more class day to complete their project on the Transcontinental railway and chapter 5 booklets. We will begin Chapter 6 this week, which focuses on the rise of the west and the gold rush. We will look at the means people took to search for gold and how the west prospered in Canada.
