What’s happening in Science and Social Studies this year?

I am excited to start a new school year.  With the new school year comes a new challenge because I will be teaching 6^th, 7^th and 8^th grade Science and Social Studies.  I’m an avid history buff and hope that my “love of all things history” will help me to instill a love of learning the subject to my students.  Additionally, I taught Science when I first started teaching so it will be fun to go back to this as well.

Social Studies

In 6^th Grade Social Studies we will be studying World History where we will study the civilizations form Egypt, India, China, Greece, Rome, and the world.

In 7^th and 8^th Grade we will return to American History beginning where we left off in 5^th grade to the present.  Study will include readings, projects, discussions and debates.

Science

During our time in Science from 6^th to 8^th grade students will study different aspects of Earth and Space Science, Physical Science and Life Science.  Study will include experiments, research, and projects to develop our understanding of the topics.
