There are NEW standards for Social Studies for the state of Kentucky! The link above will take you to the document for ALL grade levels. Sixth grade standards are pages 96-110

The focus below is the content focus for Grade 6 according to the standards:

• "The focus of grade 6 is the emergence and development of civilizations in River Valley Civilizations (Ancient Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, Ancient India and Ancient China) and Classical Empires around the world between 3500 BCE-600 CE. Students examine the rise of social, cultural and government structures that become the foundations of the modern world. Students evaluate how individuals and groups addressed local, regional and global problems throughout the development of civilizations."

So in other words, we are digging into Ancient Civilizations to understand how different ideas emerged, and what these societies went through and more!
