The 6th graders are currently studying Greece a peninsula covered with mountains in southern Europe. By 550 B.C. Greece became the greatest traders in the entire Aegean region. All of Greece is within 80 miles of sea, which makes trading easy. Ancient Greece started as to city-states or “pilos”, the Minoans and the Mycenaean’s. The Minoans were rich with wood, olive oil, and pottery but did not speak the Greek language. So The Mycenaean’s became the first official Greeks who also invented the Greek language. Greece like any other country had disasters. After the huge eruption of Mt. Thera the whole island of Crete was wiped out. I’m sure this Greece unit will be a “BLAST”.

Right now, the 6th graders are doing the Olympics. The five city states (Argos, Athens, Corinth, Megara, and Sparta) are competing in some either physical games or games that require specific knowledge on Greece. Another point system that they are using is the Olympic points where you can get them by doing above the required. The students are now done with the Olympics, but they do not know who won yet. Also, they are making websites were they can put up extra stuff about Greece.The only required thing is a 400+ word paper that they just finished. This Greece unit so far has been an exciting, and fun one. Ethan S.
