Students,
It is the first day back to school and man was it a doozy! Every classroom received a new seating chart, finally, which were accepted even if they were not truly approved of by you guys. We also started our South West Asia (the Middle East) unit. This is going to be one of our most relevant units of the year and I can not wait to get started!
SW Asia is an area that has a history of conflict and is even seen almost everyday in the news today. From governments being overthrown several times since 2011 and a civil war in Syria it is a non-stop thrill ride of history being made. We will focus on what is causing these conflicts as much as we can but it truly is a very complex subject that can not be entirely explained or even come close to being understood in the time we have allotted for it. But we will do what we can and hopefully give you a good grasp on the situation to take into the world.
That said, today we started our SW Asia maps and got a crash course reminder in classroom procedures and routines. All in all I can say it was a good day. I can't wait to see you all tomorrow.
