Homeroom: Get a good nights sleep, a healthy breakfast, and relax. You get to show-off all your great academic growth tomorrow is our last MAP day for sixth-graders.
What Is Happening:
Monday: Students went to the library today. They were able to use Google Earth to explore several locations associated with Ancient Rome, such as the Colosseum, an aqueduct, and Mt. Vesuvius. We have a beautiful 82% average on last week's chapter test and, I am happy to announce, an amazing 86% average on our Alexander the Great DBQ paper! Watch for The Ancient Greeks chapter test to come home for your signature this week. I am very proud of all our hard work and growth.
Tuesday: Students worked for the entire class on their preview page.
Tuesday: Students worked for the entire class on their preview page.
Wednesday: Students used class to update our table of contents, set-up our PQR2ST+ notes for Rome's Beginnings. Students should have the first main heading completed when they come to class tomorrow. Most finished here at school however, some will have the last page of notes to complete tonight.
Thursday: Students who had the first part of their notes completed on time were able to check and correct their work; while late students were provided a quiet place and time to catch up. We then completed our PQR2ST+ notes for the second main heading "The Birth of a Republic" together in class. Your student should be able to give you a clear, quick definition of the term republic.
Friday: Students analyzed their recent test and DBQ papers.
