Geography & Ancient Civilizations Class 

​​

 Course Description: 

6th grade Social Studies is designed to introduce  students to Geography and map-making skills that they will then apply during the study of five ancient civilizations.  We  will spend the first quarter focusing on the 5 Themes of Geography, and how they help us study different places around the world.  The following three quarters of the school year will be spent discussing the elements that make up a civilization, government systems, daily lives and major contributions to our Western civilization.  By balancing depth and breadth, students will have the opportunity to gain enduring understandings that geography and ancient civilizations teach us about ourselves and our world (OSPI outline).

• Feel free to view or download a copy of our class Syllabus for a more detailed description of the course, expectations and classroom policies.

• Parents, ask your student for the Edmodo parent code, which enables you to view posts, upcoming due dates, access digital copies of notes and assignments, and receive reminders about our class.  I hope that having a full access to your child`s class account will help with the middle school transition, and serve as a tool in supporting  your child at home.

• You may also sign up to recieve classroom reminders via text massages using the app called Remind (instructions are on the right side of this page) 

 

         I appreciate all you do for your 6th grader :)
