In honor of classic Michigan weather… Joke of the Day!
What do you get when you mix a snowman and a vampire?
Frostbite!
Alright team… new week, new assignment! But first some housekeeping.
Housekeeping #1: Food!
Smith is distributing student meals starting this week!
Students, parents or a family representative can stop by from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. each week day to pick up meals. One bag will be handed out for each child in the home under the age of 18 (not just to Smith students, anyone under 18 can get a meal)!
Students do not need to be present, and a designated person can pick up meals for all the children in the family.
The free grab-and-go meals include food for lunch and breakfast. Meals for Saturday and Sunday can be picked up on Friday.
Food will be distributed drive-thru-style on the Notre Dame side of the building nearest the kitchen, outside door 17.
The grab-and-go meals will be served at least through April 3 (I am sure they will be extending the date).
Housekeeping #2: family resources
Our social workers at Smith have put together this handy-dandy blog with a TON of info on everything related to making this quarantine easier for families.
Cha, cha, check it out!

Okay, the next assignment: Greek Governments!
Last week we looked at how geography (mountains, seas, islands etc) effected people living in Ancient Greece. You hopefully understanding that people in that area were pretty isolated from each other, and it was hard to grow enough food for everyone. So what did they do?? They started to travel and trade to try to get supplies they needed.
This week we are going to look at the types of governments that people started to use once cities began to grow larger. There are four types of governments that ancient Greeks used:
- Monarchy
- Oligarchy
- Tyranny
- Democracy
Perhaps these words are familiar! If not, they will be by the end of the week 🙂
You did a lot of reading last week, so we are switching it up and watching a short video for this assignment. HINT: while watching the video, pause a lot and use captions!
Below is the video and a copy of the questions. However, you need to complete the questions on Google Classroom. Remember to Submit when you’re done! This is due THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 27th by midnight!
Keep your chins up, yall. We’re going to get through this because we are doing it together!
