Spelling Bee Ahead

Hello Guys! This entry is to remind you about our final Spelling Bee for this term next Monday 8th. After our review and homework check-up yesterday in class, I wanted to suggest the Houghton Mifflin web page: http://www.eduplace.com/kids/sv/ , which is our book edition. You can visit this site, look for the Spelling Match, then choose 6 and after that, click on 12 (for the Unit Review). There you´ll find interesting games and other activities that can help you review the words for this contest. Remember to study also their meaning, you may be required to come up with sentences to accomplish the competition this time. 

Please remember this activity is a great chance to improve your Spelling Record!!! Don´t miss it!!!

Social Studies: The Roman Empire

Classwork: 

Students presented The Roman Empire, and we discussed the characteristics and facts of this civilization afterwards. 

We completed the following questionnaire: 

1-How is a Replublic different than a Kingdom? 

2-Who were the Plebeians and the Patricians in The Roman Empire? 

3-How is the location of this civilization convenient for it to become so powerful and expand so big? 

4-Name some accomplishments of the Romans that we have improved and still use today. 

5-How did the religious beliefs change during the days of the Romans? 

Homework: due Wednesday 3rd. 

Develop a mental map about the 6 ancient civilizations learned in class. Use key words to mention all possible details and characteristics of each. You can draw and color as much as you want. Remember you will present this assignment on a block-size cardboard, or a blank sheet of paper of any color. Please turn in your homework on time! This may be your only assignment for home and this evaluation is very important! It also help you review for your SOCIAL STUDIES QUIZ on the same day. 

Be creative!!
