No Homework

We have finished our unit on ancient Egypt.

We have also finished the 2nd card-marking (and 1st semester).

Please check grades on student/parent connect.  If there are any issues with the grades, please let me know.

I must know by Tuesday to fix any grades before they are posted.

If a student says they turned something in, and the grade isn’t there, but they don’t have the assignment with them, then there is nothing I can do.  I inform the kids not to lose assignments or throw out old ones for that exact reason.

Thank you

Yesterday and today we started chapter 9:  Daily Life in Ancient Egypt.  We will be talking about different social classes from ancient Egypt and their life.  Students will conduct role plays from one of the social classes.  They will bring in props and costumes for these plays and have about 3-4 days to prepare.

We have read sections 1-2 (and read their assigned section) and completed the notes for those sections.  Here are the notes:

All grades should be updated by now (except for the chapter 7/8 ID).

Today in class students finished up their newsela article on Egyptian social structure, and then we did an assignment on Egyptian gods and goddesses.

They used a website that had some of the gods listed and some interesting facts about them.

Here is the website they used and also here is the table they filled out on the gods:
