    Welcome to Mrs. Williams' History class! We are dedicated historians, investigating the mysteries of the past in order to better understand our present and prepare for the future! We'll be learning all sorts of interesting things this year, from the struggles of early humans to the legalist laws of the Chinese emperors. Come on in and brace yourself for an adventure! 

    As we begin instruction this year, please be sure to check Google Classroom. There are additional resources available for all learners including videos and optional readings that may help you understand the topics better.
