Social Studies

Week of 1/8 - 1/12

Welcome to CHOICE Conquistadors! I'm excited to start a new semester, and I look forward to working with each of you in social studies.  We will begin the class with a fun activity that will give us some insight into how conquistadors navigated the oceans and estimated the length (time) of voyages.  We will then delve into Mesoamerican civilizations like the Olmec, Maya, Inca, and Aztecs.
