We have begun the second part of our Early World Civilizations unit in content knowledge. We are learning about and comparing Egyptian civilation to the Babylonians. We have learned that both civilations relied heavily and were built near great rivers. They each had writing systems for keeping historical records. In the course of our discussion we learned that there are 7 continents and 4 (or 5) oceans.
There is Math homework tonight. Two math reports will be scored and reported to Schoology soon.
Tomorrow (time and circumstance permitting) we will show what we know about opinion/arguement/persuasive writing as we take our writing pretest.
In Science we began a unit on earth science where we examine Earth's relationship to the sun. We learned the term 'perihelion'. And how important the tile of the Earth's axis is in determining our weather patterns.
We have begun our middle-of-the-year Reading battery assessment for mid-year reporting.
