HISTORY: The BARBARIANS are coming!!!

On Monday we will be reading about what the Barbarians would have encountered as they entered the Roman Empire. We'll be creating a map of Rome, writing a menu with Roman delicacies and putting together a daily schedule for a Roman businessman. Then we'll take all of this information and compare how the Roman lifestyle was so different from these invading tribes. 8/30

Alaric the Visigoth will be invading our classroom on Tuesday. We'll find out what Alaric's dream was all about and why the guy thought driving around in a golden chariot was cool. 8/31

Attila the Hun arrives on Wednesday and he's bringing his "Sword of Tiew" with him so look out. We'll be making face masks  from the description our reading gives us of what the Huns looked like. 9/1


Genseric the Vandal is going to plunder your desks and pencils on Thursday if you are not careful! Why would Genseric and his men go easy on you when they took 14 days to carry away anything and everything they wanted from the city of Rome? 9/2


Friday will be a "Catch Up" day to finish any of our projects from this week you have not been able to finish. 


Keep up the good work CCS Scholars, you are doing a fantastic job! - Ms. B
