Week 2: Ancient Middle East and Egypt

This week, we will cover information about the early civilizations throughout the world.  We will begin with the Ancient Sumerians and end the week with the roots of Judaism (and a little Ancient Egypt in the middle!).  We have several different activities to complete, so everyone should find something they find interesting!  One week down, a whole bunch more to go!!!

 If you are still confused about Bull Pride and lunches, maybe this can help!

 IF you have a class on the Multipurpose Hall, ME, Science, English (Yearbook), Music or Art:
  • Go to LUNCH after second block, then go to class.
IF you have Math, PE, a CTE class, or Spanish:
  • Go to CLASS after second block, then go to lunch.
Tuesday:  Second Block
Wednesday:  First Block
Thursday: Third Block
Friday:  Fourth Block
Next week things will settle down and it will begin to make more sense!
