Monday's Social Studies Test

Parents and Students-

    On Monday we will be taking a short Social Studies test to assess our knowledge of Explorers and the beginning of Western Exploration.  We reviewed the concepts today in class by playing Jeopardy and discussing what the test would look like.

Students will have the choice to answer two out of the following three questions:

1.  Why did Exploration begin?
2.  Name one explorer, tell his/her story including why they were exploring, what was discovered and why it's important.
3.  Why/How do cultures change?

I'm looking for a basic understanding with reference to things we've read and studied in class in a paragraph.
Good luck!  Students will be encouraged to bring their books and their explorer notes home this weekend to study.

Mrs. Wagner  :)

WEB Projects

This is just a friendly reminder that February WEB projects are due Monday.  We've done a lot of talking in the classroom over the past two weeks to help students budget their time and complete the project in segments.  Students are in good shape if summaries are complete, and projects in the works.  I've reminded the students that this weekend is Superbowl and they will want to be finished and practiced before the big game.

Our next project is due March 4th, it is a much smaller window than the previous month.  Students need to have their books chosen by Monday.  They are welcome to start new novels as soon as this month's work is complete.

Finally, don't forget about Battle of the Books.  Another round of battles will be occurring in the library in the coming weeks.  Keep reading those titles and studying those authors.
