Guided by Mrs. Lisa Henriquez (left) on the Longitude Team and Ms. Emmy Cooper (right) on the Latitude Team, our class takes students on a journey through U.S. history from the 1750s to the 1860s. Throughout the year, we fully integrate history, geography, civics, and economics to help students build a deep understanding of our nation's foundational eras.
