Homework Jan. 31st
Sharks, Barracudas, and Stingrays have homework tonight.
They are pretending to be a Roman Gladiator being interviewed.
The assignment is due Tuesday Feb. 1st and must be written in completed sentences.
*Wednesday Feb. 2nd will be the unit test on Rome. Like last time, it will be a bit shorter than most tests as we have only spent about two weeks on Rome. After that we will start The Enlightenment.

Jan. 19th.
There is homework tonight for Sharks and Barracudas.
The map portion of the homework has proven to be more confusing than I had anticipated.
The idea is that the kids have to have three things on it.
1. They must have the 11 countries on the original map written in on the blank map
2. They must have the general outline of the borders of teh Roman Empire from the original map.
3. They must correctly label the five cities (marked with a small square) on the blank map.
This is just meant as an assesment of how well the kiddos are understanding the scale of the Roman Empire. If your child(ren) are having a difficult time please feel free to help them or just write me a quick note saying that they did not understand and I will excuse that.

Welcome back
January 4th 2011.
Thanks so much for all of the wonderful and generous gifts. From tasty candies to movie tickets and scented candles and cookies and a wonderful dinner at Le Central (best French restaurant in Denver, go sometime!) I received many great gifts. Bromley is such a wonderful community to be a part of :-)
There is no homework today.
For the first two weeks of the new year we will be covering the Greek gods, Alexander the Great and the philosophers, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.
One of the points that I focus upon with the Greeks is how much we borrow from them culturally, so feel free to point out any Greek influences you spot in our society today.
