We will begin unit 6 about the Viking age.
 
This unit will build upon what students have already learned about ancient civilizations in second grade and this year. They will be introduced to the people of the Viking Age. We will learn about the men, women, and children who spoke the old Norse language and lived in an area of northern Europe called Scandinavia the countries we now call Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
