September Learning 2021
Hello 7th Grade Families!
I am Mr. Shea and will be your child’s Social Studies teacher this 2021-2022 school year.
I have been teaching Social Studies for 19 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 be receiving 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 September we will be focusing on the study of Ancient
Greece. We will explore the geography of Greece and how it impacted its
development. We will also examine some of the city-states that comprised
Ancient Greece.
Literature- In connection with our study of Ancient Greece we will be reading
and analyzing several prominent Greek myths during the month of September.
Vocabulary-The work will be centered around units one and two. Students will
utilize correct spelling, definition and usage of assigned vocabulary words.
Religion- We will begin the year in religion class with the focus on three persons
in one God.
