Sixth grade students<\/strong> have had many opportunities lately to think about the Roman Empire, as we\u2019ve learned about Hannibal and Carthage, Julius Caesar, the Gracchi brothers, Roman roads and aqueducts, and Roman politics. They\u2019re starting to see some patterns emerging as we learn about power and empires, and their discussions continue to demonstrate excellent critical thinking skills. We\u2019re looking toward an assessment in the next week or so, and I know students will be diligent in their preparation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students in seventh and eighth grade<\/strong> have been studying various styles of government in early modern Europe, from absolute monarchies to constitutional and parliamentary monarchies. They\u2019ve done a great job seeing the similarities and differences present across the nation states and leadership structures of England, France, and Russia. <\/span><\/p>\n

From here, we began our study of the Industrial Revolution, noting the way products were made prior and the effects it had on the lives of British citizens. Students made excellent work of understanding the many outcomes of the Industrial Revolution, both positive and negative. This group is also looking toward an assessment in the next week, where they\u2019ll put their learning to work. <\/span><\/p>\n
