Parents,
Please check I-Parent. The grades are current and up-to-date. If your child is close to an 80% average, please make sure they study for their map test of South America. If they don’t do well on that test, their grade could go below an 80 and they will be put on probation. On the other hand, if they have a high “B” average and they do well on the map test, they could make an “A” in my class.

Today the students learned more about the ancient Mayas of Mesoamerica. The students rotated from station to station to learn about various aspects of Mayan culture. We also watched part of a video on the history and culture of the Aztecs and took notes.
The South America map test is tomorrow (12/19). You will need to know the location of the countries and be able to spell the names of the countries, capitals, and bodies of water. There will not be a word bank.
Use the blog entries from Friday (12/15) to help you study for your map test.
We will be making our edible maps on Wednesday (12/20) so make sure you get your supplies and bring them in tomorrow or Wednesday.

We will be making edible maps of the physical geography of South America on Wednesday the 20th. The students have formed groups and have signed up to bring in different types of candy or frosting to decorate their maps. So, if they tell you they need to bring in candy, it is for their edible maps of South America.
