Our Timelines Are a Hit!

The culminating ting project of our Middle Ages Unit was our timeline of medieval Western Europe. I began putting them on the walls of our hallway last Wednesday before the Thanksgiving break and they were a huge hit! Both students and teachers, alike, could not take their eyes off of them! They were so creative and clever, the timelines garnered rave reviews from every teacher who passed them; and, a bunch of "wow's" could be heard by many students as they viewed your fantastic work! Pat yourselves on the back for a project well done! I am always so proud to be your teacher!

Below are some sample photos.

Asking For Donations for Projects

Hi Parents,

Our class is in need of any donations of spare scrapbooking/craft items you might have at home and could spare in order to donate to our project efforts. Students are now involved in creating timelines that must be creative/imaginative/3D/colorful etc., etc. from 410 A.D. to 1350 A.D. (The Middle Ages!) We will work on them primarily at school. If you have anything you can share, we will be eternally grateful!! (scraps of scrapbook paper, letters, buttons, stickers, anything 3D that would go with our theme, ribbon, or anything else you could think of...)

Thank you for all you do as great parents!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Morton

Farewell and Good Luck Samantha Davis!!

We will sorely miss our Samantha Davis, who leaves us this afternoon to start her new adventure on the path of life! We love you and will miss you in seventh period! You have been such a joy a bright spot of sunshine in all our lives! Hope you enjoy the party this afternoon and your new life!!

Play the Game of Kings

Chess is a game that involves your logical reasoning and analytical skills of math. Although it has a history that spans over 1,500 years, it began to take on its current forms in the Middle Ages. Try this online version at the link below in which you play against the computer, and we will discuss it more at length next week.
