6th Grade Social Studies - World History

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Political Science at Binghamton University. While I majored in Political Science, I minored in Spanish, and can speak the language proficiently. After graduating Binghamton University, I worked on Wall St. for both the Bank of New York and for J.P. Morgan Chase. I worked in the banking divisions there for ten years, developing important life skills and flourishing professionally. At the same time, I began mentoring high school students through my local parish, and soon realized that teaching could be my true calling in life. 
      Therefore, I returned to school at night to obtain my Masters of Science degree in Social Studies Education from Queens College. I am currently certified to teach middle and high school Social Studies, and I have my Religious Certificate to teach Religion in the Diocese of Rockville Centre.

World History Unit 1

Students in 6th Grade Social Studies will be studying physical and human geography. This is not limited to just the location of different continents, countries, or regions, but how climate, land formations, and available natural resources affect life in different places around the world. Human  geography is the study of people and the places around the world in which they live. We will be looking at questions such as what kind of work do people do in particular regions around the world? How do various cultures get use their available natural resources, obtain their food or build their homes? Finally, students will look at how geography affects the type of religion people around the world practice.
