Hello 7th Grade Families!
I am Mr. Shea and will be your child’s Social Studies teacher this 2024-2025 school year.
I have been teaching Social Studies for 20 years in both public and private school settings. It is truly my passion and honor to be able to share my love and knowledge of the subject matter with your child this academic year.
Your child will have received a detailed syllabus on the rituals and routines that will be followed in Social Studies class. This syllabus should answer most questions relevant to our studies this year.
Social Studies-This year we will be focusing on the study of Ancient Civilizations. We will explore Rome, Greece, Japan, and China. The work will center around the geography, government, social structure and accomplishments of each civilization.
Vocabulary-The work will be centered around units of vocabulary study and related exercises. Students will utilize correct spelling, definition and usage of assigned vocabulary words.
Religion-We will be using a new religion curriculum for the upcoming school year. Some of the topics/themes we will be exploring are doctrine, ritual, and scripture. We will also highlight the importance of God in our everyday lives.
God Bless,
Mr. Shea
