***During the summer and for holiday breaks this class is held as a “Summer/Winter Camp” where is it held for 4 consecutive days and during the school year, it’s held as a short semester camp/multi-day class happening over 4 weeks.***

Join us for this 4-day adventure, campers will uncover Ancient Civilizations as we explore some of the most famous and influential societies of early history. Campers will have the opportunity to record their discoveries using their interactive-notebook. Each day campers will discover the history and people of each civilization, as well as the contributions they made to the world which still impacts us today. Each civilization will have a specific S.T.E.A.M. Challenge (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts,000000 and Mathematics) based on what the students discovered in class. Campers with go back in time to create a hands-on project just like Hammurabi, Pharaoh Khufu, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Montezuma, and others.

 I will facilitate learning by providing knowledgeable stimulation through PowerPoint presentations, primary sources, example props, asking questions, providing ethical and respectful options, and resources for further student inquiry. I will foster interactions between the student and content, other students, and myself.
