Week of 9/19/11

Seventh Grade:
Your students should be working on their Roman Visual Spectrum Project this week at home! In class we will be discussing historians' theories on the Fall of Rome and will be comparing Rome's historic fall to our own nation's current challenges.

Sixth Grade:
Most of your students did well on the Geography quiz. If your student is unhappy with their grade, please talk to them about what they did to prepare for the quiz. I had several students, who, in class said they did not study at all. Unfortunately, some of the grades reflect that. If your student did study, and is unhappy with the results, please encourage him/her to come talk to me about study strategies that might help.

This week we will finish up our discussion of Hunter gatherers by looking at how humans began to develop agriculture and how it affected their lives. We will be discussing neolithic towns and an end of unit project will be assigned later this week. I will post the due date when it is assigned in powerschool and on this blog.
