Welcome to American History! I am Mrs. Penny.  I teach 8th Grade Social Studies.  This is my 8th year at Westview Middle School.  I believe that each scholar can grow and develop in their life experience by examining the issues that will be covered in my history class.  The main goal in this class is to show scholars not only the connection that the past has with the present but also for scholars to examine the world around them and their place in it.
