Hello everyone:
We had a great week last week, and have more to look forward to in the coming week!
6th grade will continue working on map and grid skills. This week we will have a sweet activity (no spoilers here!) and will learn all about latitude and longitude, and will end the week with a trip around the world (using latitude and longitude, of course :)
--
7th grade will spend all week looking at the first three (of five) themes of geography; Location, Place, and Regions. We'll have an activity-a-day, so this is not the week to miss if you are a 7th grader!
--
8th grade: You did a GREAT job on your family history projects and presentations! This week we will transition from focusing on family to focusing on what happened when those families settled down into civilizations. We'll start and end the week with 2-day activities, which will bookend a look at the geography of the first civilizations.
--
9th grade will spend the first half of the week prosecuting (or defending) Christopher Columbus, and then will move on to looking at the conditions the explorers faced while sailing around the world.
--
Just a reminder, the science department will be hosting "Eco-Friendly Lunch Day" this Thursday, and will be going around to talk to all the classes about the importance of waste-free lunches during the week. I encourage everyone to visit the website http://www.wastefreelunches.org/ to learn more and start packing more eco-friendly foods for lunch! :)
Have a great week!
