Many thanks to everyone for such a wonderful day yesterday at Knott's Berry Farm. Students were well behaved, checked in when asked, and had a great time. Parent volunteers, thank you for your time and help in making this a successful Ditch Day. Finally, a huge thanks go out to the families that sponsored this event for us at this year's auction. Without naming names, I just want to express my deepest gratitude for your generosity.
ENGLISH: As we start another Vocabulary week, students begin with defining and associating our new list of 20 iWords.
LITERATURE: Our class time was used to work on our Egypt Game essays which will be due this coming Friday. Students should be finishing up their first draft and getting peers to edit and suggest changes.
RELIGION: We started Chapter 11 in our Christ Our Life texts that explores in depth the laws of Moses, not just the Ten Commandments, but all messaged passed on to Moses from God. We likened our story of the Exodus to what happens when we move from our homes to a new place many miles away. What do we need to consider when moving? How do we adjust?
SOCIAL STUDIES: Students were issued their culminating projects for our Ancient Greece unit on the first day of the section. Students will have 2 projects to work on; one independent and one as a group. The group project requires students to study their assigned City-State's characteristics and be model citizens while representing that city-state in the Greek Olympics. There will be 6 events that all students participate in, and are listed on the assignment page. The independent project will be a research essay that students will complete and then present in a symposium on our Greek Day just before the Easter holidays. Greek Day will be Thursday, April 18, 2019 (a half-day on our calendar). Students are expected to be in attendance that day to participate in both events. Research papers will be due on Tuesday, April 16, 2019, that day being our review session for the Unit Test April 17, 2019.
