Welcome to Mr. Morales's classes!

Dear Parents, as many of you know I am enrolled in a credential program at University of San Francisco. Due to school demands required by the State of California, I will be moving to part time at St. Leander Catholic School temporarily. I have coordinated with Ms. Cross, Ms. Martinez and the rest of the middle school team and I will be teaching Social Studies and Spanish during the first three periods. My schedule will be as follows:
 
8:10-9:00         8 ^th Grade Social Studies/Spanish
9:00-9:50         6 ^th Grade Social Studies/Spanish
10:10-11:00    7 ^th Grade Social Studies/Spanish
 
Here is a snapshot at the month ahead in Social Studies and Spanish:
 
6 ^th Grade Social Studies-We just wrapped up the beginnings of modern society and will take a look at our first World Civilization and learn all about Mesopotamia. Here we will learn how empires came to be.
 
7 ^th Grade Social Studies- We will focus heavily on the Islamic Empire. We will trace its origins and its spread into the year 1000’s
