This week alongside the MAP testing, students have been busy reading and revising drafts from the previous weeks. This includes summary writing, poetry and letter writing.

Social Studies –

This week students have  been looking at Feudalism and the reintroduction of civilization to Western Europe.  As a brain break during MAP test days, students have been watching a medieval murder mystery called One Corpse Too Many – set in Shrewsbury, England.  This is a wonderfully well researched story that portrays monasteries, castles, knights, and a duel.
We will be continuing with the Middle Ages in Europe next week by looking at the unique art and architecture of the time as well as the development of towns and the middle class.


After school help is available in my room every Tuesday until 4:00
