Welcome

Welcome to the 8 Teal Social Studies Webpage!  My name is Mr. Juan and I am teacher for this class. This year students will focus on American History starting with Native Americans & European Explorers and ending with The Civil War. In conjunction with classroom activities such as skits, colonial fairs, organized debates, students will gain an understanding to how the European colonies impacted the birth of the United States and the evolution of our nation in its infancy.
