The 8th grade class is busy learning about early African empires. We have studied various empires and have had fun acting out the events in class. The 8th graders even wrote eulogies for the great Mansa Musa. He was a great leader of Mali, accomplishing many things, that we found it appropriate to honor him in this way. We look forward to more fun times in history class as we begin studying ancient Japan next!
In 7th grade, we have just completed creating our very own treasure maps. Students shown their creativity as we put our cartography skills into use and created a fictitious island with many parts to it.
We currently are studying early humans and had a chance to pretend we were cavemen. We 'painted' a scene in our 'caves' (desks) of what our daily lives might have been like.
