Classroom Happenings
ELA- Mr. Jones
This week was a week of getting back in the groove of things. After two weeks off, it takes a few days to acclimate back to a rigorous schedule. We set 2nd-semester goals, reflected on our Nonfiction Book Club PSAs, and we pre-assessed for our next unit: Argument Unit which we will begin next week.
Also, an interesting article on graphic novels can be found here.
My January Classroom Blog, “A Cheesy 2020 Reference” can be found here.
Science- Mrs. Creath
Social Studies- Mrs. Pettid
Students have begun exploring different forms of government through the lens of Ancient Greece. We began by revisiting the geography of the region to put the development of those various governments into context. Students worked on a Google Earth assignment and Vocabulary Activity. Next week, we will begin a deep dive into the specific forms of government.
