📚✨ Spartan Social Studies in Action! ✨📚
Our classrooms were full of exploration and discovery today:
🌍 6th Grade: Analyzing the motivations behind early European exploration.
🗺️ 7th Grade: Studying physical maps to identify major American landforms and diving into Washington’s presidency.
🌄 8th Grade: Exploring westward expansion—examining push and pull factors, the groups who moved west and why, and the new technologies that transformed their lives.
We love watching our Spartans think critically, make connections, and bring history to life! 💡📖
