New Unit to begin Monday 10/25-The Middle East

Hello students and parents/guardians...a new unit is set to begin on Monday, October 25---The Middle East!!!

Students will learn the locations of the countries in the Middle East, such as Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Israel, just to name a few. Students will also become familiar with the economic strengths and weaknesses of these countries, their climate, the people who live there and their culture. We will also examine the spread of religions, specifically Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, which began in this region. Additionally, we will examine the wars in Iraq, past and present, and the Arab/Israeli conflict in Israel. It should be fun and the kids should learn a lot!

The students will begin by completing a map of the Middle East on Monday, October 25!
