GREEK DAY!  We finished our long unit on Ancient Greece!  We dressed as our favorite Greek god or goddess, traded our homemade goods at our agora (marketplace), and enjoyed a celebration with ambrosia, nectar, olives, figs and popcorn with olive oil.  We reviewed and had our assessment for the unit.  For our next unit, Making The Constitution, we will travel across the Atlantic Ocean to America and advance 2000 years and appreciate Athens gift to the world:  democracy!  We talk about how winning the Revolutionary War did not solve all of the problems facing a young America.

 

Science

This week we introduced are new science domain: Astronomy, Our Solar System and Beyond.  We learned that astronomy means the study of the stars and all objects in space, which are referred to as celestial bodies. We talked about how astronomers are scientist who study all of the objects in  our space and that most of what we know about outer space we have learned from the observation, measurements, and thinking of astronomers. The class began to generate a KWL chart that we will reference and add to throughout this domain.

Our objectives were to:
• review what we know about astronomy
• contribute to a KWL chart for this domain
