Today you will learn about apartments and homes Come on now I well show you the apartments.It takes 1,500 people to build one apartment and it takes two months to make it look like an apartment. The only people that live in an apartment is the poor and some
rich people . They have night watchman who make sure that the buildings are locked. They are very concerned about the fires too because the apartment is propped up with planks of wood to keep it from falling down on the apartments .
Senator follow me and I will show you the homes . The rich live in a very different
condition from the poor people . The first roman room in the house is called an atrium. It looks like an open room and had a pond at the bottom of it. In the house the rich made the slaves do everything like make the floors. They are made out of mosaic. Mosaic is glass that is broke and it is put on the floor. Thanks senitor for looking at the roman apartments and roman homes by.

Hello how are you doing today did you have a nice trip? Today I will guide you through the boats and markets. Please follow me. First thing I would like to talk about the boats. The boats were made from wood. Each boat was 180ft long. The boat was powered by people with oars .They had 18 to 24 oars on each side of the boats.Romans carried different things on the boats. The boats carried things like olive oil,and other goods. They had a pot to put the oil in. They took beef, corn, glassware, lead, leather marble, perfumes, purple dye, silk, silver, spices, timber, tin, and wine from Arabs and Indus valley. Now you know about the roman boats. Now you can learn about the markets. The markets sell pig heads porridge; fruit, potatoes, and tomatoes. They hold the market in the forum under the apartments. Porridge is oatmeal. The markets were made of different things like stone and wood. People would set up stands that looked like tents and sell their goods under them. Now you know about the markets in our roman times.

Roman Roads
Good morning senator I look forward to guiding you through the roads. Senator lets start with what materials we used on the road. First we dug a very straight ditch. Straight is important because it makes the trip go faster. We filled the ditch with many different layers of materials. We place sand on the bottom of the ditch. Gravel is then packed into the sand. This makes a steady base. On top of this we put rocks to pave the road. We build the roads at a slant so the water would run off. Now I have showed you the materials we used on the road let me show you who builds the roads. The soldiers are in chage of building the road. They plan the road and do a lot of the work. Many times slaves are used as well. Slaves are people that come from barbaric lands. Hope you like Rome senator.

Goverment
Welcome senator. I will be your guide today. I am going to tell you some facts about our great government. Please follow me. Let’s visit the senate house. I would first like to talk about the senate. The senate of Rome began meeting about 500 B.C. The roman senate is important to our government in our Roman empire and republic. Under the republic two elected counsels share the head of government. The senate is filled with leaders.

Good morning senator. I will show you the library. First I will show you how to make a book. Before books were made on long scrolls made of papyrus. It is kind of paper. It was hard to fold scrolls out and in. We had to create the book. We flick thru the pages fast and we save hours. It easier to carry a few books then a bundle of scrolls. You should try it. Next I will show you who comes to our school. Only the boys that are rich go to school. They start going to school at six years old. The teacher beats them if they don’t remember their lessons. The teacher is a slave named a pedagogue. Girls don’t go to school they get taught by their mom. Thank you senator for letting me show you the library and school.

Weekly News
Dear Parents,
We have been learning so much in third grade this week. Read on to learn all about it. First we have been learning about the Roman Empire. Our class is working together to build a city out of sugar cubes. Each cube is equal to 10ft. We designed out buildings using the program sketch up from Google. Our city has everything you can imagine like a villa, an army base, an arena, a temple, a library, baths, apartments, stores, aqueduct, senator house, roads, and walls. We are having fun building our city. We are also making a news report about Rome.
Another thing we have been working on is math. This week we talked about square numbers. Our class took a test on subtracting 5 and 6. Most of us did ok but we could all use to continue to study.
Finally we sold lots of Hot Coco. We made about $80.00. Thank you very much Mrs. Browning, Mrs. Johanson, Mrs. Gormely for your help! We all did a great job selling and planning the fund raiser.
As you can see we have had a busy week. We all want to go home and take a nap.
Sincerely,
Your Third Grader
