10/13

Monday:
The 6th grade class finished Cast Away, then began the study of Ancient Greece. We read about its geography (rocky land, with most people living near the sea, traveling by ship and trading) and did a short latitude & longitude Greek map activity. Our homework was the Achilles (fact & opinion) and Greek root words paper. Just do your best on the root words--you may not get them all.

7th grade classes: we finally got to use our Bone from a Dry Sea discussion answers; we typed them on Microsoft Word, carefully following the directions. After turning in our printed copy, we found a partner and edited their paper (on the computer) using the "Insert, Coment" functions and the supplied directions.
Those who finished had a choice of two websites to play map games. No homework was assigned.
