Welcome to 6th Grade World Cultures

August 11, 2025

A Big Big Thank You!

For showing up today.  Your first day of world cultures class.  Who am I?

Mrs. McCray, your 6th-grade World Cultures teacher.

What will we learn in this class?  Glad you asked! We are history. We’re historians, explorers, navigators, and future world leaders.  

Our goal is to explore how we, humans, behaved, made decisions, learned… lived, lost, and won during the period or country we are studying.

Why? Because who doesn’t want to be an explorer? Who doesn’t want to be a leader?  Who doesn’t want to grow, challenge, and create a better future? I know I sure do! 

We will study all aspects of human behavior, geography, and culture throughout the world, specifically the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. 

History is about human beings; our choices and feelings, our food and culture, our decisions and indecisions. 

More importantly, we will have fun while learning.  

Think:  tasting food, creating souvenirs, celebrating different cultures,  acting out scenarios, writing poetry, reading stories, having debates, studying maps, engaging in friendly competitions, discovering inventions; going on virtual field trips, and attending real-life field trips. 

“

History is who we are and why we are the way we are.”

-David McCullough, Noted American historian (1933 - 2022 )
