School Newsletter

This is what was put in the school newsletter that goes out on Friday. ---

This week was test week as we had map test on Monday and our Greek Test on Tuesday/Wednesday. I will get the essay portion graded as soon as possible. We will be finishing the week reflecting on our Greek unit and how we can improve on a day-to-day basis as continual improvement is our goal. The students will also get a new map with new countries that will be tested over in the future. So far in class, we have used our Chromebooks to create a marker/monument to that would be placed at one of the major battles in Greece, watch large group videos and individualized videos, read self-selected readings and complete mini-projects, used it instead of an actual Atlas to find a latitude and longitude point and countries, and reviewed for a test by playing Jeopardy in a Google Slides Presentation. In Current Events, we will be investigating the education mission of Malala. We use our Chromebooks almost daily in Current Events to discuss the news of the day. With everyone responding it gives everyone a voice in the classroom.
