9/16




This week’s class motto is: Organization is the Key

Each week we will discuss a class motto. This is the fourth weekly motto and we will discuss it again this week. I am a huge proponent of organization! I truly believe that success or failure can be traced to how organized and well-planned an individual is. This week we begin a two week focus on organization. Desks, books, folders, backpacks must all be neat and orderly. The room must be neat and orderly. From this order, we can build the foundation of success. This week will focus on desk cleanliness, backpack organization, and classroom order.  


This week's class virtue is: Integrity



 


This week in Class:

History: Students will continue their study of the middle ages. This week, students will learn about the spread of Christianity. A new religion hits the United Kingdom. We will have discussions about the dark ages. No written words, no information. As Rome falls, so does the culture it possessed. Students will read about monks and the busy lives they led. The week ends with a quiz.


Science: Students will continue the unit on meteorology! This week they will go deeper into the study of the atmosphere, and move into global winds and barometric pressure. Students will tabulate air pressure and Mr. Posner will even play with fire in class!!
