Social Studies class update

It's been a few days since my last update--here's what is happening:

All classes took a vocabulary quiz last week, most of the scores did not make it into my gradebook before the progress report deadline--so the progress report that went home today is outdated (for better or worse). Students may see me near the end of class or on the way to lunch if they would like a more current grade sheet.


Recent classwork activity has been groupwork--(Mesopotamia timeline) so there has not been assigned homework.
We are currently investigating ancientEgyptian civilization and comparing/contrasting it to the early civilizations in Mesopotamia (Sumer, Assyria, Akkadian, Babylonian, Chaldean, Persian). Students should be able to name at least one achievement from each--if you're a parent reading this, ask your child. If you're a student, you can just answer quietly to yourself! :-)
