5th & 6th Grade Social Studies Indigenous and Medieval Life

With teacher Sarah Donelson as their guide, 5th and 6th grade social studies students are learning about other civilizations. 5th grade is finishing their unit on Indigenous urbanization, having studied Teotihuacan, Tenochtitlan, and Cahokia peoples. For their final project, they could choose to create a postage stamp showing daily life in Cahokia or write an essay comparing Cahokia and Tenochtitlan. 6th graders are learning about life in Medieval Europe. They studied about Viking Runes and tried their hands at writing their names and cracking a runic puzzle.
