History students helped make cuneiform cookies on Friday. We used this source to find out how to write our names and stamp them into the dough. This form of writing helped to shape early cities in Mesopotamia.
This week, we’re learning about Mesopotamian cities and empires, including the Akkadian and Babylonian. We’ll discuss the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Code of Hammurabi, in addition to power acquisition in this era. Today, in a discussion of division of labor, sixth and seventh grade students shared careers of interest, including: real estate, interior design, neurobiology, architecture, civil engineering, dance, culinary arts, military/defense, invention, art, law, and athletics. It’s always fun to learn what students want to explore as they get older!
