This week, the 6th graders are finishing up their unit about Ancient Greece. They will take their test on Wednesday. Last week, the students learned about the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta by acting it out. Students enjoyed moving around the room and pretending to be the people who were involved. Then, students learned about the many ways that Ancient Greek achievements affect modern life. Later in the week, students will start their unit about Ancient Rome.
Questions for your 6th grader:
-What character did you play in the Peloponnesian War simulation?
-What is an example of something you see in modern American that got its start in Ancient Greece?
Spartan soldiers: "On to Athens!"
The Athenian navy protects the city from Spartan soldiers.
Spartan soldiers surround Athens, but the navy protects merchant ships, so that the Athenians do not starve.
