Part 2.... Everyone did a great job on their 6th grade Mesopotamia projects!
While learning about Mesopotamia, the 6th grade student wrote their initials in cuneiform on clay tablets and made their own project to share with the class. Some projects included building a ziggurat, making a game board, making an alphabet book or an invention from Mesopotamia.

A huge THANK YOU to the ROCKRIDGE FOUNDATION! Through a grant, they helped provide 7th grade students with a field trip to Finance Park on December 9. During this trip, students were given a "persona" that they then had to create a budget for. This include paying utility bills, student loans, grocery shopping, investing and saving, among many other things. Most students left the simulation with a greater appreciation for their parents, and they found out just how expensive kids are! Thank you also to the parents who volunteered. This could not have been done without you.
Andalusia 3rd, 4th and 5th graders will be performing Tuesday at 1:30 and 6:00. Please choose to attend one performance to see what your students have been working on in music.
