Another Great Week! April 11-15

Hi all!!!

Can you believe we're only one week away from Semana Santa (my first ever!) and just 8 (school) weeks away from summer?! This year has gone by so quickly!!

Anyway, even though it's a short week, we have a lot of things to do!

6th grade: This week you will be looking at the Industrial Revolution, but this time in the United States. You will find it's both similar and different than the IR in England...makes sense, right? You will also have a quiz on Thursday, April 14 (yes, that is the day before Semana Santa!), over life in the Americas after the revolutions, the Industrial Revolution, and Immigration.

7th grade: I hope you have enjoyed Lagaan this week--I know I have! :) Next week we will finish up talking about how English Imperialism affected India (and will have a wrap-up discussion of what happened in the movie), will review, and have an Imperialism in India quiz on Thursday, April 14 (yes, that is the day before Semana Santa!)
--

8th grade: Next week we are going to finish up talking about the Renaissance (and will have a mini-quiz--no more than 10 questions) on Tuesday. UPDATED: In the last half of the week we will be adapting the famous Renaissance work "Las Meninas" to our own unique artistic styles! Bring your art supplies staring on Tuesday! :)
--

Seniors: Guess what! You're going to be working on your Multi-Genre project next week!! :) Don't forget your deadlines...missing even one is going to really affect your grade!
--

I'm sure I don't need to remind anyone, but we don't have school on Friday, April 15th!

I hope you all have a safe and happy Semana Santa!
