Hello again everyone!

I hope you had a nice weekend, and that you are refreshed and ready for another 5-day week!

6th grade: This week you will begin looking at the culture of the Ancient Aztec people, beginning with an overview of Aztec culture. You will also look at how the Aztec wrote, how the Aztec explained the creation of the world, Aztec architecture, etc...it's going to be a fun week! :) BTW, you will have an Aztec mini-quiz (very similar to the Maya mini-quiz from last week) next Tuesday, November 15.
