This is our last week of class. We are trying to finish reading about the Romans, we will be reading about the fall of the Roman Empire today.

We are still reading about the Roman Empire. Monday we watched a video about Rome's army, and how they didn't make many inventions, instead they improved upon other inventions. Next week we will continue reading about Rome, and finish up with why Rome collapsed.

Last week, we continued learning about the Roman Empire, and how closely their government resembles our government. This week we will see how the Punic Wars effect Rome, we will also learn about some of Rome's different dictators/emperors.

We have taken our Chapter 10 test on Ancient China. We are going to read our last 2 chapters which deal with the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. We have started chapter 11 Lesson 1, and will finish it next week.

This week we are finishing up Chapter 10 about Ancient China. Today the students are working on their Chapter 10 review. We will go over the review Monday, and take the test Tuesday. Thursday, we will star Chapter 11 about Ancient Rome.

The students papyrus turned out really well! This week we continued reading about Ancient China about the first dynasty in China, the Shang. Next week we are going to read about Chinese philosophies and life.
