Hello everyone,

I hope that you have enjoyed your time off during the winter break and that you are falling back into the school routine with a minimum of discomfort.
We have again taken up the work of practicing important skills in our daily reading and writing activities.
We have continued our research and critical thinking practices through the chapter questions.
This week we concluded the major study of the Renaissance in Europe.
We have highlighted some of the key contributing factors that have built the western world view such as Humanism, the scientific method and the beginning of the age of exploration.
We will next be moving on the the Aztec people. We will study their culture and their world view and in time see what happens when these two civilizations meet for the first time.

Have a great weekend.
