have NWEA testing for reading.

This week we focused on the various forms of government in Ancient Greece. Students spent time on a variety of activities in class to familiarize them with the various structures and then compared those governments with the United States. On Wednesday, they created their very own Constitutions and I really enjoyed reading them. On Thursday, Mr. Pelloquin joined us for a Career Lesson.
Next week, we will begin Athens and Sparta.
