In English, we learned all about different types of writing, such as argument and creative. We read a short story called "The Hitchhiker" by Lucille Fletcher and a novel called Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.

About the class...In History, we are studying Ancient Civilizations. We have studied ancient Egypt, Israel and Greece. We are learning about different cultures by learning about their history, music, dance, art, and literature.
We learned about the Greek gods and goddesses and have done slide presentations.

Kronos Project

I have fun doing this project and I am never doing a Kronos thing again. He is just gross.

History

With Ms. Williams

Ever curious about how choreographers get their inspiration? Well, you are in luck because currently we are learning about the world of Modern Dance and how using Pantomimes and gestures (real life movements) can be inspired into creating realistic dances. Who would have ever thought I can turn something as simple as brushing my teeth into a dance!?!
