Today, our Web Design class was able to get special instruction from a Software Engineer. What great fun that was to look at the big eyes of 6th graders as he wrote line after line of code in seconds flat and then explained what each item was doing. I did my best to translate into 6th Grade-ese :)

Next week we'll have one more chance to question our speaker about specifics... customize your site a little bit!

Ancient Greece!!! And Rome........

In history, we are learning about Ancient Greece & Rome! Here are some facts about the two:

Ancient Greece:
1) Back then, in the Olympics, winners were awarded a crown of olive leaves. Today, obviously, winners receive medals:)

2) In the Parthenon, in the Acropolis in Athens, there was a 40 foot statue of the Greek goddess, Athena. Her skin was made of ivory & her clothes were made of gold.

3) Athens was named after the Greek goddess, Athena. Athena was the goddess of wisdom.


Ancient Rome:
1) The Roman Republic was divided into 3 different ranks. The highest rank were the consuls. Then came the patricians & then the plebeians.

2) Julius Ceasar renamed the month Quintilis and made it July in honor of his name.

3) Julius Cesear was murdered by 60 people from the government including his dear friend, Brutus.

In my opinion, I think Greece is more interesting than Rome:)
I hope you learned some things from my post:)

Composers:)

So in music, we are doing a project where we get partnered up with someone.....(I got Tux:)).......and we looked through a book about composers and found some information on the composer we chose. Tux and I chose Jean Sibelius. He wrote the Finland national anthem:) We will present our projects by doing an interview:) Our class will present on Monday!! I can't wait:)
