6th Grade - Red - Social Studies

🔬 Welcome to 6th Grade Science! 🌟

Hello, young historians, researchers, and global thinkers! 📚🗺️

This year, we’ll explore the story of human development across the Americas—from the first peoples to powerful civilizations like the Maya, Aztec, Inca, and Tiwanaku. You’ll investigate how societies changed through colonization, how Indigenous peoples have resisted injustice, and how economies and environments have shaped our present.

We’ll ask big questions about identity, power, land, and innovation. You’ll read historical sources, analyze timelines, compare cultures, and reflect on the struggles and contributions of Indigenous peoples—then and now. 💬🧠

📚 In the IB PYP, we learn by researching, sharing ideas, and taking action. You’ll develop your voice, your thinking, and your understanding of what it means to be part of history—and part of change.

Get ready for a year of deep thinking, global perspectives, and meaningful inquiry. The past is calling—let’s explore it together! 🌟📖
