Welcome to 6th grade social studies! I hope you're just as excited as I am to explore ancient history starting with the first time my favorite animals (humans) showed up on this planet and going through the civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, Greece, and Rome. This year, we'll use our ancient ancestors to learn more about our past, our present selves, and think critically about how we can create a better future.

This is my 10th year teaching 6th grade social studies at NEST+m, but my first year teaching a group of students who have just spent a year and a half navigating the trials of online learning and adapting (just like humans have always done) by learning new tools and technologies.

Below are some useful links to some of those tools you will continue to use as we learn in person and at home.
