// Curriculum Update: Week of Jan 7 //

This week, students learned the myth of Gilgamesh in History and reflected on why the story was important to ancient Mesopotamians. We also had a chance to explore the art and artifacts of that civilization during our field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  In Science, students have been working on creating awareness campaigns to help people become aware of how soil is being depleted and what we can do to reverse this action and protect our Earth. Students have also begun typing their memoir pieces in Writers’ Workshop, and continue to add detail and revise their writing to make their ideas clear and to create a “movie” in the readers’ minds.
