Hold onto your hats! We are going to Mesopotamia! Ancient Mesopotamia is a land that we refer to as the fertile crescent. Why? Because the soil was fertile and the area was shaped like a crescent. Mesopotamia means "land between two rivers". This civilization was powerful. We are going to be learning about where it was, how they lived, what they believed, and what they achieved. Some of the things the Mesopotamians achieved are things we still use today! As we move along through Mesopotamia, we will be doing art projects and creating a giant scrapbook about our virtual trip to the ancient world. I will be posting videos and websites for you to look at as we go so check in!
