to the world of social studies!
In sixth grade we'll travel back into ancient history. We'll explore the pyramids and check out the mummies. We'll marvel
at the making of the Great Wall, and we'll hear the crowds cheer while gladiators fight in the Colosseum. In the spring of
the year we'll tour our own home state, Iowa. Do you know what the word Iowa means? You will! We''ll even take a trip to
our state capitol in Des Moines. It's a year of fun and adventure!
Seventh graders travel the world during social studies! We'll climb Mount Everest and dive to the Great Barrier Reef. We'll
cross the Sahara Desert and explore the Amazon Rain Forest. You name it, we'll be there! We'll discover fascinating cultures
(and sample some of their cuisine!) as we trek around the world!
It's a trip back through American history for our eighth graders! We'll watch as the colonists struggle to make
a life on this new continent. Cannons blast as the American Revolution unfolds. We'll hear Abraham Lincoln as he leads
our country through the Civil War. And we'll strive to both understand and appreciate the rights we have in this great
country. Finally, we'll take what we've learned to our nation's capital as our students have the opportunity
to travel to Washington D.C.!
