Ancient Civilizations: 6th Grade History

Picture
Students in grade six expand their understanding of history by studying the people and events that ushered in the dawn of the major Western and non-Western ancient civilizations. Geography is of special significance in the development of the human story. Continued emphasis is placed on the everyday lives, problems, and accomplishments of people and their roles in developing social, economic, and political structures, as well as in establishing and spreading ideas that helped transform the world forever.

What is Walk Through the Ancient World Activity Day?
Don't miss this exciting activity day for 6th-grade students. They will participate in an interactive retelling of the history of Egypt, Greece, and Rome. It doesn’t matter whether your students have previously studied a particular civilization prior to the program; it is designed to either be an introduction or a review of key events and historical figures from Egypt, Greece, and Rome.  
The Walk Through Ancient World Activity Day is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, December 13, 2022 from 10:30-3:00.  Registration priority will be given to 6th-graders and their siblings in 4th-8th grade. A Parent Square post will go out with registration information in October.
