Wrapping up the first six weeks

We officially began our Geography unit in Social Studies last week.  The students learned the countries of South America and the 50 states of the U.S.A.  Both of the major grades for the 6 weeks are the map test grades.

This week we are finally venturing to the 4 regions of Texas and exploring our states geography.  Tomorrow I will introduce the Texas Webquest to the students.  We will take a digital and interactive journey through our great state, exploring and visiting interesting places in all four regions.  We will be working in the computer labs on this project through October the 8th.  The students will complete their project in class, and work towards creating a digital scrapbook of their journey.  It should be a lot of fun.  The project details and rubric for both my Pre A.P. and General Education classes are provided on my web calendar.  The students will also receive packets this week with detailed instructions.

This Friday is the last day of the six weeks.  Be sure that you have turned in all of your absent and late work to your teachers.  Grades must be finalized by Friday afternoon.  Friday morning is the last chance for tutoring or make up tests.  

Have a great week & Go Cubs!
