Teacher's Workshop Week: Week of November 14-18

Hello again everyone:

Last week was great fun, especially in 6th grade when you all worked together to make your Aztec Temple! Way to go!



















Also, did anyone else see the TWO rainbows we had over Discovery on Friday? Here's a shot I got of one of them:


I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and are ready for the (short) week ahead!

-Please remember that due to the 10th Annual Discovery Teacher's Workshop, there will be No School this Friday, November 18.

-This Friday is also midterm! Grades will be sent home later in the month.

Here's what's happening in Room 4 this week:
6th grade: We will finish the Aztec packet this week, and you will have your Aztec Mini Quiz on Wednesday, November 16 (please note this is different than what I said last week--I chose to change it after it became apparent students needed one more day of in-class work last week). We will begin the Inca packet (last one!) on Thursday.

7th grade: Remember that you will have your European geography review on Monday and your European Geography and Country Identification Quiz on Tuesday, November 15. You will begin studying the geography and countries of Russia and the Republics on Wednesday and Thursday.
Reminder: European Human Geography packet due Monday!
--

8th grade: You will finish your Ancient Greece unit this week, with a review game on Monday and your Ancient Greece Quiz on Tuesday, November 15. You will begin looking at the geography and founding of Ancient Rome on Wednesday and Thursday.
Reminder: Athens and Sparta Venn Diagram, Greek Top 10 and Alexander's Great-o-Meter assignments due Monday!
--

9th grade: You will continue looking at various revolutions this week, beginning with the end of the French Revolution and the short reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. At the end of the week you will hop the pond and spend time looking at the domino-effect Latin American Revolutions.
Reminder: Declaration of Independence documents assignment due Monday!

I hope you all enjoy your nice long weekend!!
