Welcome to Mr. Magruder's Class - 6 East Social Studies.

We will be studying the cultural geography of four regions of the world this year: Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America.
Our curriculum is based on the slogan painted on my back wall:
"History waits upon geography. Before you can have a play, you must have a stage."
