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.

Egypt ~ Week 7

Sample Student Post:

I think it's really odd talking about Egypt. We've heard so much about Egypt that it sounds like it's own part of the world, but it's part of something bigger. Look at these maps:

Map of Africa: Including Egypt

Looking at these maps, you get a different view of Egypt and where it is located. How do you think Egypt's location provided opportunities for the exchange of ideas, knowledge, skills, and customs between Africa, Asia, and other civilizations?
