Social Studies

This Month:  Ancient India!



We will be learning about the geography of India, Hinduism, Buddhism, and two major empires- the Gupta and Mauryan!  We will concentrate on one major ruler too- Ashoka the Great.

Great websites about the history of India:

India unit test on Jan. 29th!
I will be leaving around Feb. 7th, but I am happy to say Mr. W will be taking over social studies.
Coming in February... China!!!!
