I hope your children had a great long weekend! 

5th and 6th grade students will be looking at the different regions of the United Sates. They will also be creating wonderful regional maps.

7th and 8th grade will be focusing on Europe in the Middle Ages with a focus on the expansion and then fall of the Roman Empire.
