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!
