——–Welcome back!!! Sorry for my absence the past 2 days. I went home to Michigan over break and the snow stopped my from coming back!!!! For the most part the subs said you did great. I am very proud of you for that, thank you. On Tuesday you just did some basic textbook work I am sorry for that but I wasnt planning on being gone If you did it and turned it in I will count it as extra credit. On Wednesday you did some work dealing with artifacts this will count as an assignment. Today we read about how the middle ages were set up. We learned about kings, knights, lords, and peasants. You then created your own power tower. For the reading and assignment click here. For examples of a power tower click here.

Today many of your classmates were gone showing off their science fair project. You all did a great job and I am very proud of you!!! The rest of us watched a film about 300 Spartans defending Greece against thousands of invading Persians. Much of what you saw today should have been familiar if you had been doing your research properly.
