week of March 31

The Plan:

Social Studies:



Students will learn how democracy developed in Ancient Greece.  We will also make connections between our growing knowledge of democracy and current events.


Homeroom: Bring your Social Studies textbook to class tomorrow.
What Is Happening:

Monday: Students visited the library today and learned about two forms of government, monarchies and oligarchies.

Tuesday:  Most students finished The Rise of Democracy notes today in class.  Both the text with our Paragraph Attack strategy and our Reading Notes Poster are due tomorrow.

Wednesday: Students turned in their homework and used the Athens video on Brainpop to learn about this important Ancient Greek city-state.

Thursday: Students cleaned up their notebooks and began a preview of chapter four on Social Studies Notebook page 55.  We will finish this tomorrow here at school.

Friday: Students worked together to complete cloze notes in class about the early Greeks. They had at least 15 minutes and flextime to complete their Preview Page for The Ancient Greeks.  Several students have a few more pictures to complete over the weekend. Please do not spend more than 20 minutes on this at home.  Have a great weekend!
