Week of April 7

The Plan:

Social Studies:

 

Students will have an exciting week learning about the roles Spartans and Athenians played in the famous Persian Wars of the 5th Century B.C.  It is a great example of cooperation and the triumph of the underdog students usually really love.  This year they are able to make lots of connections to current movies too. If you are lucky enough to have a real conversation with your learner this week try to encourage, coax, or trick them into using their new sixth-grade vocabulary.  It is fun to see and hear them grow.
 
Homeroom: Bring your Social Studies textbook to class tomorrow.

What Is Happening:

Monday: Students analyzed text to determine the requirements, rights, and responsibilities of an Athenian citizen. Notebook check tomorrow.

Tuesday: 

Wednesday:

Thursday:

Friday: No school for students who have all their work completed.
