Hi! I'm Ms. Barba!
6th Grade Social Studies
We're going to look waaaaay into the past. What makes up a society? This class will explore how ancient societies have evolved (changed over time! The topics of agriculture (food + environment/ geography), technology (tools), and socialization (politics, economic practices, religion/philosophy. and social relationships) will provide a framework to compare and contrast major civilizations. Using critical thinking skills, we will question why some civilizations thrived while others declined. Lastly, we are going to examine how these principles of society still affect us today as people.
Leadership
Welcome! Your role as a developing leader is an important one here at Pio Pico! Everyone has the potential to lead, and every day provides you with opportunities and possibilities to lead. In this class you will be actively engaged in activities such as participating in group discussions, planning and implementing school activities & fundraisers, creating the yearbook by capturing our school's spirit, and partaking in important decision making for our school.
