Welcome!
It's that time of year again! Welcome back to Deady Middle School, and welcome to eighth grade U.S. History. This is going to be an amazing year for all of us. This site has been created to help my students excel. I suggest that you visit this site regularly to find important announcements, the class caledar, GREAT history sites, and much more.

Ms. McClain's Mind
This past week, our cluster went to the Museum of Natural Science to participate in the CSI exhibit. Normally, I do not do well at science-related tasks. However, this experience was FUN!
It seemed as if all of you really enjoyed your experience. I guess it's time for me to start planning your History field trip. I wonder what I can do to top the CSI exhibit? Stay tuned for more details...
