This is only a four day week, as we have a teacher workshop on Friday, and a long weekend. We begin a new unit this week: New Centers of Culture. This is a historical unit, which discusses the shining lights of the Byzantine and the Arab (Umayyad,Abbasid, & Fatimid for history buffs) Empires in the (comparative) darkness of the Middle Ages. We will discuss the achievements of these two great empires, and explore how they acted as a bridge between the Ancient and the Modern Worlds.
