Hello Parents and Guardians:
*This week, we will focus on reviewing Ch. 12 and discussing current events.
*We’ll read the Jr. Scholastic news magazine for our current events information. Students will not be allowed to bring the magazine home because I only have one class set. They will bring home notes and a Quick Quiz handout on Thursday to use as a study guide for our Newsbowl current events competition on Friday.
*Because of time constraints we will not complete the previously mentioned, Ch. 12 map activity.
*All students will complete the Geography Bee first round questionnaire. Only students wishing to participate in the Geography Bee, will be scored. It will be held after vacation.
