10/9

Thursday:
6th grade classes discussed how the Ancient Greeks 1) believed that there were many gods and goddesses who were active in the world, and 2) the human body was beautiful. We also reviewed how the Greeks were mostly traders (and why), how they lived near the sea, and how they traveled mostly by boat.

We continued by beginning our character notes on Clash of the Titans, and finished with some Greek artwork. We will continue both of these tomorrow; homework was to read for pleasure.

8th grade classes were given time to read their novel and also time to work on their two novel project choices & discussion questions. Homework: read Blood on the River to p. 122; read Roanoke to p. 167 (through the end of Chapter 12). Also know what your project choices will be by tomorrow.
