Check the board for long term assignments. You have a project or presentation for each unit and a book report for the semester. Due dates will appear on the blog in a permanent sidebar as soon as I figure out how to do that.

Western Civ: Continue working on presentations and read your Greece & Rome chapters.

Economic Themes: For this week, do the lessons on the sinking of the Lusitania and on the German U-Boats. Prepare for next week by reading about the First Battle of the Marne. You do not need to do the written part of the Battle of the Marne yet.

Have fun!

New class for fifth grade

Beginning Wednesday, December 3, the fifth graders will be studying Literature with Mrs. Martin. This change should help us differentiate for the different age levels in the Intermediate section. We will begin by completing the study of The Prince and the Pauper. Then, our next project will be Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Students will read the play and present an excerpt from it for our Shakespeare Festival! Later projects will include Little Women, The Secret Garden, selected poems and short stories, and more adventures in literature.
