Social Studies covers a host of subjects rolled into one mosaic. All grades use technology, study economics and culture, and delve into both the hidden and famous aspects of history. 6th grade focuses on familiar Europe and neighboring Latin America; 7th grade explores mysterious Africa and massive Asia; and 8th grade undertakes a simultaneous survey of both North Carolina and its parent, the United States.
Reading, writing, film, drama (in skits and plays), art, music, and computers all help us to learn about these times and places. If you have anything that would further enrich any of these classes (picture slideshows, items you collect from another country, food of another culture, etc.) please let Mr. Griffith know.
Social Studies Office Hours: Thursdays from 3:00 - 3:45
