The freshman and junior students have been busy over the last quarter.
The topic of Reconstruction started our American history 3rd quarter studies. While discussing plans for Reconstruction by Lincoln, Johnson, and the radical Republicans students had to come up with their own plan.

Western civilization covered a variety of events including the scientific Revolution, absolutism, and the Enlightenment.

They had to share Enlightenment ideas that they agreed with and would want implemented into their schools. Below is an example of one of the schools that they created!
