Your student(s) should have come home with a history assignment yesterday that they will need your help with. IT IS DUE THIS WEDNESDAY! We are visiting New Zealand this week and are learning about the native people, the Maori. They had a very long, formal process of introducing themselves to each other. That's what we are going to do with the information on the sheet I sent home. They should be able to tell you the difference between #2 and #3. #2 is where they were raised. #3 is where they were born. We discussed they may be the same. We also discussed that some siblings info might be different because the family has moved.
We are also going to play a game with Oreos to help explain what it was like when the Maori realized that they were tricked when they signed the treaty with Great Britain. Some jaws are probably going to hit the floor!
Remember, next week is NOT a test week. We will be going to California and discussing the Gold Rush. The following week will be a test week over Ch. 40-42.
