The students have spent the past few weeks exploring Mesoamerican civilizations. Mr. Clover has taught about the Olmen, Maya, Aztec, and now the kids are learning about the Inca. During this time the kids have made an Aztec pyramid, a relief map of the natural barriers that protected the Inca empire, and a quipu. A quipu is an Incan counting devise using a series of knots to convey information; Mr. Clover had the kids tie knots for the year of their birth, their age, the number of pets, and the number of siblings. Those are currently hanging in the hall.
There will be a test over the Maya, Aztec, and Inca on Monday, May 5. Mr. Clover has had the kids take notes over each civilization, so those notes will be perfect to use when studying for the test. They will also get a "study guide" from Mr. Clover, and Friday will be a review day.
Thanks,
Cathy
