Don't forget to study for your colony map test - we practiced today, so you should know your weak areas!! I would love to see everyone make an "A"!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, don't forget to finish your circle books - read pages 86-89 and fill in information about economics, education, and geography - I will help you with the "political" circle book tomorrow. We will go over the information that should be in your books after our map test tomorrow:-) I will be checking them for completeness prior to us going over them.

We are in need of chaperones for our field trip to the Cobb Civic Center on Monday, 10/9. We will be leaving at 9:15 and will return around 12:00. The performance we will be seeing is "Do You Remember" by the Company - Pebblebrook High School students. It should be a lively show with music from the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's. Please contact your child's homeroom teacher if you would like to join us.
THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mabry 8th grade teachers.
