Newsletter this week!
In 6th grade SS this week, we started off by looking at the geography of the Italian peninsula and it's influence on the Roman civilizations. We then investigated the "founders" of Rome: Romulus and Remus and their unusual upbringing. The students created either comics or storyboards to show their learning. We then looked at the early civilizations that had a great influence on Rome: the Latins and the Etruscans. We are finishing up the week looking at the steps that formed the Roman Republic starting with the Patty's (patricians) and the Plebe's (plebeians). Next week we'll work on Job Applications for positions in the Roman Republic. In current events, we've been using our Chromebooks and the site www.piktochart.com to create advocate posters. I can't wait to see their final published posters.
