Greetings Parents and Students!

THIS WEEK'S AGENDA IS POSTED ON SCHOOLLOOP. Please let me know if you have any trouble viewing it.  

Please take a look at the Book Wish List below!

_____________________________________________________________________

                 TRADE BOOK WISH LIST
Usborne Internet-Linked ancient World ISBN 0 439 78503 0 have 2 copies - would be wonderful to have 7 copies

Kingfisher Book of the Ancient World ISBN 0 590 63245-0 have 5 copies - would be wonderful to have 7 copies

People of the Ancient World: Ancient Mesopotamia ISBN 0 531 16846 8)  have 1 copy need 3 copies

Ancient China - have one of each, could use one more each
    
    Journey Into Civilization: Ancient China ISBN 0 7910 2726 0
    See Through History: Ancient China

We will be reading the following historical novels this year:

Maroo of the Winter Caves

Reluctant God by Pamela Service

Black Ships Before Troy by Rosemary Sutcliff (it is the story of the Iliad) ISBN 0 385 31069 2 when we get to Greece.  It is a hardback book, quite expensive and beautifully done.  It would make a wonderful holiday or birthday present for students so they could have their own copies and follow along in class.(Used Paperback will work as well.)

**I have class sets of the above novels, however it is helpful for students to have their own copies - used is fine - to preview and review on their own**

Another Trade Book I can use is A Visitor's Guide to the Ancient World (Time Tours)  I have five copies.  It would be wonderful to have 7 and outstanding to have 14 so that two students could share.  It covers the civilizations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome so it could be used with all three and it is an example of a travel guide that we will use for reference for making our own travel brochures for 7 early civilizations.
