Sept 14-18

We are pushing to finish Mesopotamia by next Monday. We have finished our timeline, our invention wheel and will start the gods on Wednesday. We need to write our name in cuneiform and learn about Hammurabi and then we are finished. All assignments from Mesopotamia need to be handed in by Sept. 21. Once we are through with Mesopotamia, I will not take any late work or make up work from that unit.
We completed our 7th fluency reading, our 3rd cloze passage and will finish our 4th reading comprehension by Friday.

Sept 8-11

Wow! Did I ever get behind or what? This week we will be working on City-States, cuneiform, and starting to put our folders together. We will be doing a fluency on Tuesday, library on Wednesday, Cloze passage on Thursday and either a fluency or a Reading Comprehension on Friday. We will be finishing Mesopotamia very quickly and moving on to Egypt.

Today we completed Fluency #3 and charted it. We also did a reading comprehension on Checks and Balances within the Federal Government. We charted that and started keeping score of the questions missed. Students will be using REAL time to make up their map test.
