Hello Marshall 8th Grade!
It's me, Mr. Butler.
I'm going to use this weblog to provide material that will supplement our class lessons.
I'll post relevant articles and useful videos which should help enhance your understanding of certain historical periods. I'll use this "blog" as much as I can to provide you with the best information I can. For the time being, I'll use this for reading and social studies for Room 310 and just social studies for all other homerooms.
I hope you like this new addition to your learning experience.
Mr. Butler
