Today we went over the chapter 2 quizzes and made corrections.
The USA map test will be on Monday, 5/7/07. You will need to know where the states are located and how to spell the state and its capital. I would suggest you make yourself some flash cards to help you learn the states and capitals.
We will start the presentation for the Canadian destinations on Wednesday, 5/2/07.

Today we were working on the computers doing research for our provinces of Canada. Our map test of Canada will be on Thursday, 4/26/07. If you have not finished your map, you need to make sure you finish it tonight. If you did not finish the quizzes for chapter 2, please try to come in tomorrow morning; I will be here at 8:00 A.M. to let you in, or you can come in at 8:15 and I will let Ms. Hanserd know I am expecting you.
Students will be giving oral presentations on a province or a territory of Canada. The following are the directions for our research:
Explore and research your province or territory in depth. You will try to convince your other classmates that this province or territory is the best tourist destination in Canada. Look through the Internet resources to find interesting things to see or do in the province or territory. Choose 5 places and give the names of the places you have chosen (for example: The Georgia Aquarium, Stone Mountain…). Tell us what city they are near, and the reasons you chose these places, or why we would want to go there. You will also give us a brief history of the province. For example: what group of people colonized the area, what encouraged them to migrate to that area. You will also tell the class what the climate is like, describe the geography, tell us what the area’s economy is associated with (the types of jobs people have), and tell us about the population. You will share your information in an oral presentation with a power point that has pictures of the tourist sites that you recommend. After the oral presentations, the class will vote on the most exciting tourist destination.

Today we reviewed for the CRCT and received a latitude and longitude sheet to complete for homework.
The SS CRCT is tomorrow so get a good night sleep and eat something for breakfast.
Parents,
I made a mistake when I entered the homework grade for the 2.4 lesson. Instead of the HW being out of 5 points it was put in as being out of 50 points. I have made the correction. I am sorry about the mistake.

Please bring in a political cartoon. You can bring one in from a newspaper, magazine, or from the Internet. If you don’t understand the political cartoon ask your mom or dad to explain it to you. If you can’t find one don’t worry about it, but please try.

We continued working on the Canadian Explorers Web quest today. If you did not finish your research and answering the 10 questions on each explorer, then you need to finish that tonight. Make sure you also get a picture of each explorer and bring that to class. We will finish making the cards in class tomorrow.
Parents,
If you would like to review the social studies textbooks that are up for adoption you may do so. Sign in at the front desk, and then go to the Media Center workroom. There is a yellow folder with forms you can fill out to give your opinion. This is the last week for the textbook review. Thank you for your input.

Today we worked on the Canadian Explorers web quest. If you did not get much done in class today, try to work on the web quest at home for at least 30 minutes tonight. Go to the March 30th blog entry and you will see the link to the Canadian Explorers web quest. Make sure you answer the 10 questions on each of the five explorers and print a picture of each explorer too. We should be able to finish this in class tomorrow.
CRCT testing will start next week, if you haven’t go online and tried some of the practice test, you might want to do that. Each student was given the web site and his or her user name and password in homeroom back in February.
