About Me

My photo
I’m excited to welcome our 7th graders to a year of explorations in world history. Our studies will range over many regions and periods of time, with a focus on the Egyptians and Medieval Period. My own history includes nine years of teaching grades 7 & 8. I have a Bachelors Degree in Middle School Social Studies & Math, a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership, and a Specialists Degree in Educational Technology, all through MIZZOU. I love spending time with family & friends, reading, watching movies, playing with my two yorkies, Triton & Ariel, and my toy poodle, Jasmine.

Human / Environmental Interactions ~ Week 1

Sample Student Posting:

One of the five themes of geography is Human/Environmental Interaction, which "deals with how people use, adapt to, or change their environment." I think that this is an interesting theme when I think about all that has happened in our area over several years. My Dad says that this area was all farmland and then they built all the houses, businesses, and the mall. Here are some links to get an idea about the amount of change that has occurred here:

There has been a lot of change in this area. What do you think about all this change? Has it been good or bad, and why do you think as you do? What do you see happening in the future of our area, and how has our past affected that future?
