Update on 6th-8th SS curriculum

We are having a very fun and informative beginning in Social Studies for grades 6th-8th.

6th grade-
We are working on a reader's theater play titled, "How the City of Athens Got it's Name". The students also have been using the Internet, their textbooks, and nonfiction books to research Ancient Greece. We are needing white sheets and gold belts or rope for costumes for our play. If you have any of this at home, please bring it in with your child. Each child will be wearing a costume.

7th grade-
We are working on a reader's theater play about the life of female pharaoh, Hatsheput, from Ancient Egypt. The students have been using the Internet, their textbooks, and nonfiction books to research the Ancient Egypt. We are currently looking at the Ancient Egyptians beliefs in multiple gods and goddesses.

8th grade-
We are studying the historical figures of the American Revolution and the events that led up to the American Revolution. We have had some lively discussions about the importance of the American Flag and it's meaning to our current lives. The students have been using the Internet, their textbooks, and nonfiction books to research the American Revolution.
