I am excited to say that everyone survived their first test in Social Studies! Was it as bad as you thought? LOL!
After taking our world map test, students completed a worksheet on the hemispheres. We went over this and put it in our binders.
Next, we received our physical/political maps back with our grades on them. Some of us didn't do as well as we had hoped. We need to make sure we are reading the questions carefully and making sure that we are answering what the question is asking!
We began our group work with hemispheres, longitude and latitude. Tomorrow we will continue our group work. We are also going to the computer lab tomorrow to learn more about this blog and to learn how to access our textbook online.
Tomorrow will be a good day to be in class!!!
Remember: Your first articles are due Friday! The current event must have happened in the past 6 months. Make sure it is a news event and not entertainment or sports news.
Have a great day and I'll see you tomorrow!

What we did Today!
Good Afternoon
It has been a wonderful few days with you all so far. I hope we keep up the good work!!!
Tomorrow is our first test in this class. Make sure to study your continents and oceans tonight. There is a word bank on your test and I will be counting spelling as well.
Today we discussed our current events notebooks. Remember that one current event article is due every Friday. It will not be something that we discuss each week unless you have questions. But, every Friday your notebook should be in the crate in the front of the room so it can be graded.
Tomorrow we will continue to work on our chapter 1 section 1 notes and do an assignment with a partner working with longitude and latitude. Bring your math brains with you!!!
Study tonight and I will see you tomorrow.

What we did today
Students handed in their physical/political maps they did as homework last night. Also, some students still needed to hand their parent letter, syllabus, and student information sheet in and they did that as well.
This blog was introduced to the class: how to read it and log into it.
We finished coloring and labeling our world maps and practiced posting our continents and oceans onto the wall. There will be a map test on the continents and oceans on Tuesday, August 31st. Make sure you study.
We began taking notes on chapter 1 section 1. This section is all about geography and the five themes of geography. They are to keep their notes in their binder and bring these with them each day.
There is NO HOMEWORK tonight!! I hope everyone has a good weekend!!!
