I hope everybody enjoys their Winter Break.  This is a great time to think about family, friends and the kind of enduring impact you are creating in the world.  Be kind to each other, be empathetic and be happy!
Several students have some worries about their grades after the last test.  Don't worry so much:)  We still have several weeks left in the grading period when we come back from Break.  Remember school shouldn't be about points and grades.  School is about thinking, creatively approaching problems and being proud of all you know; not worrying about what you don't know.  None of us are perfect and none of us know everything.  Have faith in your abilities and each other.  See ya in 2011

When In Rome

We started to look at Rome today.  Students will use our Greece/Rome chart to see the similarities between these two powerful, ancient civilizations.  I want students to understand that civilizations follow similar patterns concerning geography, government, economics and war/expansion.  We will take a very abbreviated look at Roman civilization and then use the idea of "enduring impacts", the state standard, to see home Rome, Greece, Egypt, China and India directly influence the modern world
