We keep moving on!

St Johns classical Academy is an amazing school. In Mrs Grewe's 5th grade class we are learning so much. We are learning about Aztec culture in history and in Science we are classifying organisms. In literature  we just finished The Secret Garden, it was such an amazing book.

We are learning core classics, like learning how to analyze sentences. For now we are just learning the subject of the sentence and the predicate verb and helping verbs.

I am so exited with what we're learning and cannot wait to learn more!

Another week, another Blogger

This week what we have been talking about is the Mayan's in history, classifying objects and The naming system of Linnaeus in science, and The Secret Garden in literature.

 The naming system of Linnaeus was invented by Carolus Linnaeus. This naming system Linnaeus used is called Binomial Nomenclature. The word binomial means two names.

What we have been learning about in history is about the Maya. Maya is a group of peoples who have inhabited a region that includes parts of present day Mexico and Central America from thousands of years ago to the present. Before the arrival of Europeans, Maya cities and civilization thrived in rain forest locations locations between about 200 and 900 CE. Maya people were thriving and strong but ceased to stay alive. No one knows for sure. We only know that the once-great Maya cities were abandoned and swallowed up by the rain forest. The Maya people scattered but did not disappear.

Last but not least in the secret garden we are where Colin has entered the secret garden and Ben Weatherstaff found them in  the secret garden. He started yelling at Mary, Dickon, and Colin. He said Colin was crippled but he is not. Now he is in with their little secret.
