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.

The Ancient Olympics

Olympic Events

Olympic Games Background

Wikipedia Information on the Olympic Games

With that wealth of information, compare and contrast the ancient and modern Olympic games. What are your thoughts about the Olympics? Explain any of your own Olympic hopes and dreams!
