Post CRCT studies

With CRCT testing now concluded the MYP Humanities classes will resume normal schedule (at least until ITBS testing begins).

7th Grade:
Students in 7th Grade will begin a new Unit on East Asia. This unit will cover the following countries: North and South Korea, China, Mongolia, Taiwan and Japan. This is an exciting unit covering a over 1/4 of the world's population. The unit will begin by exploring the physical geography of the region including major landforms and bodies of water, followed by culture and history.

6th Grade:
Students in 6th Grade will be reviewing the now completed unit on the cultures and history of Europe. We will be reviewing this week before the next unit test, after which time we will be exploring the nations of Australia and Oceania. The unit test on Europe will cover history going back to Ancient Greece to the present and a comprehensive review is planned which students will be expected to complete over the next couple days.

5th Grade:
5th Grade students are exploring early 20th century America and will be reviewing the period from the Progressive era to WWII over the next several days

CRCT

This week and Monday of next week we will be testing since many classes will not meet there will be some extended periods in which humanities materials will not be covered. We will resume a normal schedule on April 28

Spring Break

Be safe and take care during this Spring Break...don't forget to study!

CRCT Review

Each student has been given a CRCT review packet to cover material that they should be familiar with for CRCT test after spring break. Students in all grades should pay especially close to materials which we have not arrived at.

7th Grade: East Asia
6th Grade: Australia and Oceania
5th Grade: Mid-Late 20th Century America

These are subjects which will be covering in the coming weeks, but may be featured on the CRCT , which is why it is especially important that these areas are reviewed in your packet over the break. We will review the entire packet and more after the break, but students should take the initiative and work on their packets during this brief respite from classes
