We had a great start to the year! We have started our study of the Five Themes of Geography, latitude and longitude practice and Chapter 1 work. Chapter 1 (pages 2-33) prepares for us for our studies for the year by helping us to understand physical and cultural geography. We will also be reviewing different kinds and uses of maps. The first group of students have been assigned a current event activity of reading a article on an event that is happening in the world now. They are to bring in the article they read, with a summary to share with the class. Group A's assignment is due Friday 8/26. Wednesdays are social studies classes D.E.A.R. time. Have a book to read!
