My Students
Our students at our school are global citizens, as they are hard-working, caring, and motivated problem-solvers. As a history teacher, I am tasked with taking students on a "journey" to the various places we read and learn about. As you could imagine, traveling anywhere is impossible with the pandemic!
The focus of our Ancient History program is to show the relationships between ancient cultures and present society.
I want to take my 6th graders to the pyramids of Ancient Egypt, I hope for them to walk along the Great Wall of China, and get a real view of the Ancient Wonders of the World as they study. In this class, emphasis is placed on the knowledge, skills, and values needed to become active and reflective citizens.
For Medieval World History, 7th grade students have been set up to experience an appreciation for the humanities; i.e., music, painting, sculpture, literature, architecture, archaeology, law, philosophy and ethics. We are learning about the legacy of civilizations from Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas.
Finally, 8th graders learn about our colonial heritage from the founding of our nation leading up to the industrial revolution.
My Project
For 6th grade, we will visit Ancient Egypt, Ancient Kush (Sudan), Middle Eastern countries, India, Great Wall of China and the various regions of China including the Yellow River, and Japan. We will also spend time in Meso America.
7th Graders will travel throughout Europe to review the Roman Empire, early Greek architecture, the Byzantine Empire (Turkey), West Africa, Japan, and China.
8th Graders will visit the inside of the white house, various presidential monuments, various federal parks and monuments, state historical markers, Lois and Clark expedition steps, and review the American Revolutionary war battle sites.
