Once again, the sixth graders culminated the year in social studies with a Renaissance ball. After a year of learning about the movers and shakers of ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and China, the students got to portray some of the movers and shakers that began our modern era. Present at the ball were multiple Renaissance queens, artists, scholars, scientists, writers, religious leaders, and kings. Enjoy the photos of our learning and merry-making!

What We've Been Learning: End of the Year
It's the end of another great year here at Highland Catholic, ripe with learning, laughs, and memories.
Both the 8th and 7th grade English classes finished up by writing vignettes. They had to develop a logical plot flow within their stories, use descriptive language, and also create an emotive atmosphere. Below is a scan of one of their stories.
For social studies, the sixth grade finished up with a unit on the Renaissance. Scroll down to see images from our annual "Renaissance Ball" at which they portrayed prominent figures from the Renaissance.

6th Grade Feudalism Role Play, 2015
For social studies, the sixth graders recently did a role play on feudalism in Medieval Europe. Their roles depicted the rigid social structure and exchange of favors/loyalties that existed within feudal Europe. If you see children on the ground looking miserable, they were doing so on purpose -- trying their hardest to look like suffering peasants!
