Fifth Annual Roman Technology Museum

Halloween Day ROMAN TECH STYLE!

Grade Seven Humanities students have been studying Roman technologies (innovations, inventions, and architecture) to understand the needs, the lasting significance, and the influence of ancient Rome. For the last few weeks they have been practicing research skills such as finding credible sources, using proper citations, and paraphrasing information. Today in our Roman Museum, they showed off their knowledge through their models, timelines, and questions.

The New Baby Gibson

October 2015: Advisory Team Building 
We spent our advisory time on this day celebrating the new baby Gibson on his way. Students got "Mrs." Gibson and baby to the hospital, helped pick out baby food, figured out what baby ate, and even helped name the new baby. Boy are these PE teacher's lucky to have such helpful students!

Stepping into the Daily Life of a Roman?

September 2015: Roman Class Structure Simulation 
Students were able to feel what it was like to take on the class structure of a Roman. Some were lucky enough to be patricians (purples) while others had the tedious task of being a plebeian. Some were lonely soldiers, secluded and far away, and the most unfortunate majority were slaves.
