"Life is a journey and only you hold the map."
This year we will be exploring several ancient civilizations of the world including Mesopotamia, China, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Our modern world has sprung from the energies and achievements of the people who built the first civilizations, so come to Social Studies with an open mind and a willingness to dig deep into the past!

Binder: All classwork will be set up in each student's Social Studies binder. The binder will have two tabs: one for "Binder Notes" and one for "Class Work." Each unit will be colored coded and at the end of the unit, student binders will be collected and graded. Students must number their pages and keep them in order. A Table of Contents will be distributed to ensure organization.
Upcoming Tests: Will be posted at least a week in advance. Students will complete a study guide during class and Quizlet reviews will often be posted in our Google classroom.
