Ancient Rome Begins

We are about to embark on our last unit of the year.  It is amazing that school is almost over!  I know you guys want it to be over, but we’ve had some fun times this year.

Anywho…the Ancient Rome unit begins tomorrow and we are going to have a jam packed couple weeks of learnin’ before we start our stop-motion project.

To get you ready for Rome…and stop-motion…check out this video made by a couple students last year. This shows the story of Romulus and Remus, which we’ll be reading on Wednesday.

Ancient Greece Quiz Study Guide

For those of you interested…I’ve posted a study guide for the 15-question quiz that we will take on Thursday. There are probably more questions on the study guide than there are on the quiz.  The study guide may be useful to you.  No…there won’t be a surprise if you complete this study guide.
