Welcome to an exciting year of discovery! In the sixth grade we begin our journey into the past with the beginning of human development. We will continue into the earliest civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Israel, India, China, Greece and end our year with Rome. We will look at how each civilization developed its own unique culture and how these ancient civilizations helped the modern world evolve into the amazing place we call home today.
