This is a generic website for the district. Most
teachers have their own website and you should contact them
for that information.
I did include a snip-it about the grade levels below…. only a
snip-it though. If you want more information, please
feel free to contact your teacher.
IB - We are known in the IB world as Individuals and
Societies. We incorporate IB Philosophy into our
classes in several different ways. IB Characteristics
are incorporated daily, comparing and contrasting historical
figures with individuals from today. We also bring in
current countries and their backgrounds where appropriate
with the topics that we are discussing. Each grade level has
their own specialty when it comes to design.
A little about 6th grade Social Studies:
Study of early human man and the beginnings of our society as
we know … Ancient Mesopotamia. Goes into the Hebrews and
Egypt as well as India and China. Should wrap up with
Greece and Rome where 7th grade takes over. In each ancient
civilization, we focus on geography, religion/beliefs, Social
Systems, and Achievements.
A little about 7th grade Social Studies:
7th graders will be learning about societies in medieval
times. We take over at Rome and start a discussion with
the Fall of Rome. The other societies to be discussed are the
Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
A little about 8th grade Social Studies:
8th grade US History begins with Colonization in 1607 with
Jamestown and a review of the Revolution Fervor. The
first trimester ends with the Constitution – we offer a field
trip to the State Capital (October) in order to compare State
and Federal Governments.
The second trimester begins with the Early American
Presidents and their policies – from Washington to
Jackson. We wrap up with Manifest Destiny, spreading the
American culture from ocean to ocean.
The third and final trimester is the Civil War to America at
the turn of the Century.
