Ancient Civilization Project

Hello and welcome back to another busy week. We’ve had a week of professional development and planning, so it has been non-stop here. I wanted to share a few things I’ve been working on starting with our upcoming history unit on ancient civilizations.

For the next 5 weeks we’ll be taking an in-depth look at ancient times and the early civilizations that changed our world forever. We will explore their daily lives through stories, media, science, and technology to come up with our very own museum exhibit that will be on display for schoolmates, teachers, and staff. Check out the digital guidelines that I created on sliderocket.com and a little treat from the 80’s. Have a great week!

FIS Olympics

Happy Spring Break to all of you out there who actually get one. We have a non-pupil week here, but hey, I’ll take what I can get at this point. At least I’ll be ready to take on the rest of the school year, right? Well it has been a brutal couple of weeks here trying to wrap things up before break, but we made it.

Last week we held our annual school Olympics complete with a cheer contest, relay races and one mean tug-of-war finale. Of all the events that we do throughout the year, this one seems to be the crowd favorite. And this year was no exception, despite the heat, everyone had a great time.

Here are some highlights from the events:
