Happy First Day of Sprng Parents and Students!
I hope everyone enjoyed spring break, and you were able to take time to rest and relax. We are enterng the 4th Nine Weeks, and we'll be sharpening our skills for TN Ready. Spring reminds us of new beginnings and having a fresh start.
We never know what kind of weather March will bring us. Someone once said, "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." I recall as a child hearing older people talk about the "winters of spring" which meant you didn't put away your winter clothes at the first sign of spring. Usually there are five or six cold snaps that occur between mid-Marh through May. I just thought I'd share a little Tennessee folklore. Thee may be some truth in this when you consider the freeze warnigs for the last couple of days after experiencing the seventy degree weather a few days ago.
This week we will focus on Tennessee: The Land and Its People. This is aligned to our textbook, Tennessee Through Time, Chapter 18; pages 216-231 entitled "Governing Tennessee. The standards and assignments are as follows:

Dear Parents and Students,
I hope you're enjoyed the extended weekend as we paused today to celebrate Presidents' Day. This is an annual holiday in which wi honor the nation's presidents, especially George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The birthdays of Washington and Lincoln fall near or on the holiday. Washington, the nation's first president was born on February 22, 1732. Abraham Lincoln, who served as president during the Civil War, was born February 12, 1809. Presidents' Day is a federal holiday which means banks, government offices, libraries and schools close.
This week we are continuing the unit on the Civil Rights Movement. Students will examine the cultural and political development in the U.S. during the Civil Rights Movement. Essential Questions for this topic include: How can individuals create change in a society? Can democracy exist without equality?
Civil rights are those rights that make it possible for everyone to be treated equally. Many people spoke out about how unfair it was that African Americans did not have civil rights. People of all races began working together to make sure all people were treated equally under our laws. In recent years more people have used votes, the courts, and protests to ensure civil rights. For example Hispanics, American Indians, and the disabled still work to change what is unfiar to them. Women of all backgrounds still work to gain the same rights as men. There has been progress made in achieving civil rights for all people; however we must continue to work together for the fulfillment of the dream.

Good Evening Parents and Students,
This week we are continuing to focus on our unit on World War I. Also, I would like to remind you about the field trip next week to the Nashville Children's Theater. Please turn in permission slips and fees.
The standards and assignments are as follows:
Dear Parents and Students,
Our Fall Festival was a tremendous success, and I would like to personally thank each of you for your participation in this annual event. Whether you volunteered to help with activities or attended with your family we appreciate you. This week is a 3-day week, and students will not report on Tuesday, November 8th and Friday, November 11th for Election Day and Veterans' Day respectively.
We are beginning a new unit on World War I. In the early 1900s Europe was changing. Countries fought each other for power and strength to gain control over less powerful countries. Groups of nations agreed to help if any one of them was attacked. For this reason in the summer of 1914, a war between two countries spread to most of the nations in Europe. Great Britain, France, and Russia formed an alliance called the Allied Powers Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire joined together as the Central Powers.
The United States was neutral for the first three years of the war. During that time, German submaries were sinking British ships that were not part of the war. In 1915, the Germans sank the ocean liner RMS Lusitania. More than one hundred people from the United States died. In 1917, the Germans said they would sink any U.S. ship going to Great Britain. President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to declare war against the Central Powers.

Thanksgiving is when we give thanks for all our many blessings. It is also the time that we embrace and hold our families close to us. I'm very grateful for each of you as I am reminded of the many challenges that we've been through over the last year and a half.
This week we are studying the United States in World War I. The United States was neutral durng the first three years of the war. In 1915, a German U-boat sank a passenger ship called the Lusitania. Almost 1,200 people, including 124 Americans lost their lives. President Woodrow Wilson tried to keep peace with Germany. Then a note was discovered and printed in the newspapers. It suggested an alliance between Mexico and Germany against the United States. This note is known as the Zimmerman telegram.
On April 6, 1917 the United States declared war on Germany and joined the Allied forces. Once the U.S. joined the Allies , they began to defeat the Central Powers. On the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, all the fighting on the battlefields of Europe stopped. The war was finally over.

Dear Parents and Students,
Autumn is the season that teaches us that change can be beutiful. This week we will focus on Unit 4: Industrialization, the Gilded Age, and the Progressive Era. In the late 1880's and 1890's factory owners, seeking to maimize profits, employed people who would work for low wages. As industrialization advanced, women and children worked full time jobs in order to help support their families. During the early 1900's a real effort to regulate child labor began. In 1938m the Fair Labor Standards Act was passed that placed some limitations on child labor, set a minimum wage and put limits on how many hours an employee should work.
The standards and assignments for this week are as follows:
5.01 Explain the need for the South’s move toward industrialization after the Civil War.
5.09 Analyze the major goals, struggles, and achievements of the Progressive Era, including: Prohibition (18th Amendment), women’s suffrage (19th Amendment), and the lack of child labor laws.
5.02 Examine the appeal and challenges of settling the Great Plains from various cultural perspectives, including: settlers, immigrants, Buffalo soldiers, and American Indians.

Dear Parents and Students,
Today, we enjoyed learning about the period of history before Tennessee gained statehood during a virtual field trip to the Tennessee State Museum. The students had a unique experience to interview a museum educator about life as a longhunter. Longhunters were men traveling long distances to hunt and explore the land for up to six months or longer at a time.
There are geographical locations in Tennessee named for longhunters. Some of these include: Walden Ridge (Elisha Wallen) and Kasper Mansker, who built a frontier station in what is now Goodlettsville. In the 1970's the state of Tennessee established Long Hunter State Park along the J. Percy Priest Lake in the area where Uriah Stone hunted for furs.
This week we will continue focusing on the Civil War and Reconstruction in Tennessee. We will critically examine primary and secondary sources. Also, we will locate the Three Grand Divisions of Tennesse on a map and locate where major battles of the Civil War were fought in Tenneessee.

Greetings Parents and Students
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, and you had the opportunity to relax. This week will continue the unit of study on the First Tennesseans. Some of the topics include: The Cumberland Settlements and Battle of the Bluffs, Tennessee in the Revolutionary War and the Lost State of Franklin.
A man named Richard Henderson had the idea of buying a lot of land from the Cherokee Indians and sending settlers across the wilderness to live on that land. His friend, longhunter Daniel Boone had a lot to do with the plan. Henderson negotiated the Treaty of Sycamore Shoals in which his Transylvia Company purchased a large part of modern Kentucky and Middle Tennessee. He sent people to a place on the Cumberland River called the French Lick. The French Lick got its name from the natural salt licks in that area. Robertson believed that it was a great place to settle because the salt licks would attract animals. Also, the salt would help the settlers preserve their meat.
Henderson later selected James Robertson and John Donelson to lead settlers into this Cumberland River region. In December

There's a rainbow after every storm, so we should always look for the silver lining behind the clouds. This weekend's thinderstorms and flooding had an impact on several states including Tennessee. I hope that all is well with you and your family as we begin another week in school.
We have been studying about how the United States continued to work towards civil rights for all people. In the 1960s, segregation still divided the nation. People protested in a variety of ways. They boycotted city buses, held marches, and sat a segreated lunch counters. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave speeches and encouraged non-violent protests. Success in Nashville came when the myor called for integration at the city's lunch counters.
The effects of the civil rights movement reached well beyond the African American community. Women, Hispanics, Native Americans, and people with disabilities all found inspiration in the struggle for civil rights.
5.24 Analyze the key people and events of the
Civil Rights Movement, including: Martin Luther King Jr. and non-violent protests, Montgomery Bus Boycott and Rosa Parks, Brown vs. Board of Education and Thurgood Marshall, Freedom Riders and Diane Nash.

Dear Parents and Students,
Hopefully, you were able to enjoy your spring break and get some extra rest. We will begin the 4th Quarter by studying the Civil Righs Movement. The United States experienced economic growth and prosperity after World War II ended. There were some Americans who weren't a part of the country's prosperity. There were migrant workers, coal miners, African Americans, and others who had lived in poverty. After World War II, laws in the South kept American Americans segregated. In the 1950s and 1960s, African Americans made imprtant progress in the struggle to win their civil righs. Civil Rights are the rights guaranteed to all citizens by the Constitution.

Greetings Parents and Students,
We have come to the end of the Third Quarter and we have a few days before Spring Break begins! This week we will focus on Postwar America and the Cold War. The end of World War II had a great effect on American society. With peace came a new feeling of hope for the future. Businesses began making new products that made life easier for growing families. After the war, the returning soldiers needed jobs. Women were often asked to leave their jobs so the men could have them back. Once again women were limited to traditional "women's work." Still, each year, more and more women entered the work force.
After World War II, growing tension and mistrust between the United States and the Soviet Union led to what was known as the Cold War. The Cold War was mainly a war of words. However, many feared an actual third world war could erupt. In 1945, the U.S. was the only country that had an atomic bomb. Then, in 1949, the Soviet Union built its first atomic bomb. The nuclear arms race was on. American scientists developed the even more powerful hydrogen bomb. Neither America or the Soviet Union wanted to use nuclear weapons. The competition between the United States and the Soviet Union spread to space as well. In 1957 the Soviet Union launched the satellite, Sputnik into space. Presient Dwight Eisenhower speeded up the United States space program. The space race had begun.
5.22 Examine the growth of the U.S. as a consumer and entertainment society after
World War II, including: Suburbs, Increased access to automobiles, Interstate Highway System, Television, radio, and movie theaters.
5.23 Examine how Cold War events impacted

Good Evening Parent and Students,
This week we will focus on the end of the Great Depression and the causes of World War II. The Great Depression of the 1930's hit Europe as well as the United States. In some European countries, people turned to strong leaders who said that war would solve the problelms of hard times and empower their countries. These leaders were dictators and they had complete control.
In Germany, conditions were especially harsh. In addition to facing economic hardship, Germany was still dealing with problemls from World War I. The Treaty of Versailles had forced Germany to accept blame for starting the fighting. It also, mad Germany pay for the damage done during the war and took away some of Germany's land. In 1933, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis gained control of Germany's government. Shortly afterward, he ended democracy in Germany and became the country's dictator. In March 1939, Hitler demanded that Poland give Germany some land that had been lost in World War I. Poland asked Great Britain to help if Germany attacked. The German army took control of Poland. Great Britain and France then announced that they were at war with Germany.� World War II had begun.

Winter Holiday Break Begins
Dear Parents and Students,
We are approaching the end of the 2nd Nine Weeks, and I am very pleased with the progress our students have made. The collaboration of parents, teachers, and students have made this possible. This week we will study the women suffrage movement and the Nineteenth Amendment. The first women's rights convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. The meeting was led by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. In 1869 Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton formed the National Women's Suffrage Association. The main goal of the group was to get an amendment passed that would allow women to vote.
It took more than 70 years for the Women's Suffrage Movement to obtain legislation to enfranchise women. Finally, in 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified, which granted women the right to vote. This week's assignments and standards are as follows:
5.09 Analyze the major goals, struggles, and achievements of the Progressive Era, including: Prohibition (18th Amendment), women’s suffrage (19th Amendment), and the lack of child labor laws.
5.47 Identify Tennessee’s role in the passage of the 19th Amendment, including the impact of Anne Dallas Dudley and Harry Burn.

Poster Presentations and Unit Review
Week of November 9 - 13
Dear Parents and Students,
I hope everyone had an opportunity to relax this past weekend, and enjoy the "warm," beautiful, autumn days. We are continuing to study the end of the Civil War and the Reconstruction period. President Abraham Lincoln wanted all Americans to forget their anger and work together to rebuild the South. Lincoln also wanted the nation to heal. President Lincoln did not live to see Reconstruction. Only five days after the war was over he was assassinated. The years between 1865 and 1877 are called Reconstruction, the time in which the nation tried to unite and solve the problems created by the Civil War. Congress created the Freedmen's Bureau to help former slaves and those who were in need of food, clothing, shelter, medicine, and education.
After Congress took over Reconstruction, it passed a new law. It said former Confederate states could be readmitted only if they passed both the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments. The Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments gave the former enslaved people freedom and citizenship respectively. The Fifteenth Amendment gave African American men in every state the right to vote.
In 1877, Congress took federal troops out of the South. This was the official end of Reconstruction. The New South saw an economic boom with the growth of factories and railroads.
The standards and assignments for this week are as follows:
5.43 Explain the impact of the Tennessee Constitutional Convention of 1870, including: poll taxes, segregation, and funds for public education.
5.45 Identify how the rise of vigilante justice (e.g., Ku Klux Klan), black codes, and Jim Crow laws impacted Tennessee and the nation.

Greetings Parents and Students!
Welcome! I am excited to have new students joining my Social Studies class for the 2ndQuarter as well as those who are continuing from the 1st Quarter. Together, "We are MNPS Strong and Head Magnet Strong!" I look forward to a great remainder of the school year.
We are currently studying a unit on the Civil War. Serious disagreements had developed between the people in the North and South. The North and South very different economies. The economy of the North was becoming industrial, based on factories that made such things as iron and steel; and machinery and cloth. The South's economy was mostly agricultural. The most profitable crop, cotton was grown on large plantations that relied on slave labor. More and more northerners, called abolitionist began to believe that slavery was morally wrong The Southern states claimed that slavery was a matter of states' rights, and each state should have the right to decide whether to allow slavery without the involvement of the federal government. As soon as President Abraham Lincoln was elected the Southern states began leaving the Union. The Civil War began on April 12, 1861, on an island off South Carolina at Fort Sumter.
This week our focus will be the Beginning of the Civil War and The Three (3) Grand Divisions of Tennessee. The standards/goals and objectives are as follows:
