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.

Place ~ Week 4

Sample Student Posting:

I wonder exactly how prehistoric people built their shelters and homes. It's not like they could go get a realtor or start looking through the newspaper for houses. Take a look at these sites about prehistoric shelters:

Rock Shelter

Early Homes

When early people began to build shelters, they used some geographic features to decide where they would build their homes. What features affected their choice of building sites? How might geography affect their choice of building materials?
