Interesting Video debunking some myths about fighting in armor

I thought some of you may enjoy this video of two individuals showing what fighting in late medieval armor really would be like.  It really dispels the myth about lack of mobility.  Pardon the French... no seriously, the the video is in French.

5th Grade Quiz and upcoming Project

Hello everyone, this announcement is for the 5th grade. They will have a short quiz on Friday concerning their geography, 5 themes of geography, geographic features, and timelines. They will receive a study guide on Thursday. It can be found here. Typically quizzes will not have a study guide, but this is the first one, so I want them to see my expectations.

5th Grade will also be assignment a short term project, due Friday 9/12/14. Students will be creating a map from school to home. They will receive this handout.

Online Textbook now available!

Hello everyone, this morning I was able to take the time (more than it should!) to set up the online textbooks for 5th and 6th grade.  To the left, you should see a link to our Online Textbook.  If you click there, and for a username put in first.lastname14 and then fccs2014 as the password your child will have access to the Online Textbook.  An example of this would be, collin.kenny14 as the username and fccs2014 as my password.  Students with hyphenated last names, such as if my name was Collin Kenny-Kenny, would look like collin.kennykenny14.  Have a great day!
