What an interesting project! The students learned a great deal about the three
major religions of the Middle East, conflicts that exist between the
religions, and then attempted to create a resolution to the problems. I think
we may have some future presidents and UN representatives in our school.

After the Thanksgiving break, we continue to look at the Middle East and
Northern Africa. We will look at the geography of the location and then start
a project where we build a mall in the center of the area. The mall is
designed to utilize resources from the region. We will design the stores and
then market our product to our allies.

The primary purpose of this social studies curriculum is to help students gain
knowledge of world geography, the physical and human characteristics of a
location, the way people and the environment affect each other, the way
people, goods, and ideas travel from place to place, and the areas of the
world that have common physical, human, or cultural characteristics. We will
examine these social studies themes through non-fiction and historical fiction
texts, periodicals, hands-on research projects, and class discussions. Our
studies will emphasize:

North Africa and Southwest Asia
Asia including India, China, and Japan
Africa south of the Sahara
Mexico, Central and South America
Australia, Oceania, and Antarctica
Current Events and Issues

My goal for this school year is to provide a safe and engaging working
environment for all students. We are all working together to make this a great
year!

With Happiness,

Mrs. Cavallo
