Featured Class – 7.4 Social Studies:
Ancient Civilizations
Each week, Washington Global will highlight one class, or
cohort. The goal is to give you (families) the opportunity to
see a snapshot of what is going on at Washington Global.
We encourage you to talk to your child about what
they’re learning!
The start of the 3rd Quarter means the start of a new unit!
This week, students in cohort 7.4 began the unit by
learning about the geography of India. Before venturing
into the unit on Hinduism and Buddhism, it’s important to
understand India’s geography. This will allow students to
better grasp why the two religions and the early
civilizations of India developed as they did. For homework,
students will be working on the geography challenge!
