Spelling -  Mythology Words

We will continue our study of mythological words with an emphasis on allusion in myths. The spelling test for mythology words is scheduled for Friday, 12/14.

Reading- Greek Mythology

On Monday I will introduce a mythology project that focuses on personalized learning. Students may choose to work individually or in a small group to complete a project from a given list. Each group will be assigned a different myth. The project will include a written piece and a presentation. Students will be given time in class the weeks of 12/10 and 12/17 but should expect to do some work outside of class as well. The mythology project will be due on 12/20. I will be posting the project on Google Classroom on 12/10 if you are interested in viewing the details.  

Social Studies - The Southeast People

We will study about the people of the SE by reading Chapter 7, Lesson 1.
There will be a quiz on this when we are done studying it.

Science - Energy Conversions

Investigating how energy works in a system is the focus of our Science activities this week. Close reading is a skill that crosses curriculum.
