History Jeopardy on Thursday

By the early-1700’s, the American Colonies were well-established and the sea route between England and America was well-traveled with cargo ships. But these ships were easy prey for a ferocious pirate known as Blackbeard. On Thursday of this week, students will test their knowledge about Blackbeard and numerous other personalities and events of early-American during our all-day History Jeopardy competition. It’s a fun warm-up for Friday’s history exam (one of only three all year). Here are the study guides, which are part of this week’s homework: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Students also have a vocabulary exam on Wednesday, a math quiz on Friday, and a Book Club final sometime late in the week. We’re also looking for chaperones to join us for two upcoming trips: an Adopt-a-Street Clean-up on Friday, Jan. 24th (time TBD), and our always-wonderful Tree Plant field trip on Feb. 7th (all day). If you’re interested or able to attend either, please let me know. Here’s the math homework for this week: Monday, Jan. 13th; Tuesday, Jan. 14th; Wednesday, Jan. 15th; Thursday, Jan. 16th. Students should also be studying their vocabulary words and completing their history study guides.

  1. I have no clue on what to do on that. I don’t think i will pass. I don’t really like history.

  2. I loved history Jepordy. We play math jepordy at st.ms but it’s not the same. Not as fun and black beard was so exciting to learn about. I loved Adopt-a-street so much, picking up gardage getting dirty and all that snazzy stuff. I also wish I could go on the tree plant. I love doing that, planting trees and going to the park. I can’t wait to hear about your guys fifth grade over night trip.

  3. Also we are doing floor hockey. But it’s not as fun. He doesn’t go over safety. I had to remind him, people are way to aggeressive especially the girls game. The guys was just so dull, but augh I wish you, Mr.Lewis were teaching it. It’s always better with him teaching.
