Welcome 5th, 6th, and 7th grade historians! I am so excited to examine and analyze the events of the past with you! In the 6th grade we will be diving into the Ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. We will also learn about Medieval Europe! For the 5th and 7th grade we will be exploring the history of the United States and how we have expanded from sea to shining sea! We will be reading both primary and secondary sources to better our understanding of history!
