After a brief review, students took the Weekly Quiz #5 on their own paper and read from the previous SS textbook pp. 193-199 to gain more background knowledge on the Mongols.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

After getting yesterday's handout stamped, today's game was explained and each table group was able to see all the questions that will be on tomorrow's quiz.  Be sure to study your handout.

Students were given a comprehension handout, and they used one side of it

to take notes on the three previous standards. Then, they were able to complete the side with the blanks with their table mates.

Please be sure to study your notes each evening to review for the quiz.

We spent the entire class period reading, highlighting, and discussing pages 19-22.  Please continue to study your notes, etc. 

We began with a quick review of the standards that would be covered on the Weekly Quiz #4.  Students were asked to turn in their Flow Charts and then 

the quiz was distributed.  I am piloting a new audio segment to allow students to listen to the quiz as I read it and clarify answer choices. In the future, hopefully students will be able to access it on Google Classroom. 

Have a great weekend!!

We reviewed the material on the Flow Chart and the Chapter 2 Vocabulary Sheet. We reviewed p.16 information on the Song Dynasty and completed p. 17 in the Gallopade book.  We watched 3 three minute segments on Community Agents and began a small card to both a paramedic and a firefighter.  These will be delivered to our local fire halls and the Emergency Call Center.

Homework-Study all China materials, including maps and vocabulary. 

After turning in any additional signed progress reports, students reviewed the Flow Chart and other notes for Friday's quiz.  We finished the video segment on Buddhism and read p. 16, filling out the bottom part of the Chapter 2 Sheet-Song Dynasty Achievements.  

Homework-Study/Review all notes for the longer paper quiz on Friday.

Class began with students turning in signed progress reports (please just try to 

get it signed by the end of the week.)  We checked the answers to the Newsela quizes from Friday. We reviewed p.14, the Emperor Wendi Dance, and the Chapter 2-Flow Chart of China.  All of those will be on the quiz on Friday.

We read aloud/discussed p. 15  and started watching a portion of a Discovery Education video on Buddhism (taking 5 notes).

Homework=Begin reviewing all old notes and begin studying all China notes so far.

Students were able to read a Newsela article on "The Cultural Heights of the Han Dynasty" at their own pace and reading level since we had the chrome books.  After three separate readings of the short passage, students took a five question quiz over the material.  There were a few remaining minutes that allowed students to confirm if they had both worksheets complete from this week.  Progress Reports were also distributed to all students. 

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Students were given the opportunity to catch up on any unfinished work as the deadline for progress reports draws closer.  Students were asked to turn in their Labor Day Review Sheets (both sides) and the handout Mr. Smith gave them yesterday.  For those who were finished with both, I gave them the eight vocabulary words to define.  We will not be having a quiz this Friday, but students will work on a project with the chrome books.
