Hello!
Please remember that this week is a short week. We will have no school on Friday for a Teacher Work Day. Please also plan on coming to Curriculum Night on Monday!
This week we will be looking at the shift from a hunter/gatherer society to an agricultural society. Students will be completing a group project where they will create a comic book showing this change in lifestyle. These will be due on Thursday. We will also spend Wednesday looking at the US Constitution. Every year, the goverment declares September 17th to be Constitution Day. Due to legislation passed by Senator Byrd in 2005, any school that receives funding from the government must dedicate that day to a study of the Constitution. We will be moving forward in time to spend the day examining the American system of government, and then we will return to the Ancient world on Thursday.
I will also be announcing the date of a meeting soon to discuss a Washington DC trip that I am planning for the students. Please keep an eye on this blog and talk to your students to find out more information about that trip.
Cheerleading practice will be next Tuesday, September 23 at 7:00 AM in the gym.
