Coming Up...

We had our first test last Thursday (August 23) and I was very pleased with the grades.  Our next project will be handed out tomorrow, August 29 and the students will be responsible for creating their own maps.  These maps will be on full size poster board and they will start from CMS and go to their house.  This project is used to measure their ability to read and create maps with all the correct information.  Open House went great last night.  Thank you to all parents and students who stopped by!!

Off and running...

We are off to a great start for this new school year. I couldn't be more pleased with my students and their behavior over this past week and a half. I am so excited for this school year : ) We dove into starting class on Tuesday and began with the Nature of Geography. We completed Part One, Two, and Three notes this week. Today (Friday), we took a quiz on the Continents and Oceans. I also handed out to each student their first PROJECT!!!! The best thing to use for the globe is a Styrofoam ball from Micheal's or Hobby Lobby. The students can also use a baseball or tennis ball. HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

Due Date for Project: Wednesday, August 22nd
