REVIEW...

We will review last week's TEST and talk about the importance of STUDYING FOR OUR TESTS!!! Many did wonderfully last week - but I could tell not all of you were prepared. I want to slow down a bit and discuss HOW TO STUDY...and techniques to help you not only prepare for tests and quizzes, but HOW TO TAKE A TEST (or what I prefer calling "SHARING WITH A TEST" - I'll explain this week...).

SO...I am providing you an opportunity.
For those who did not do very well, I will be giving A SECOND TEST on Wednesday over the same material (Pre-Columbian America). 
IF you chose to keep your same score, I will give you the same score on the second test (SO...those who studied and have an "A" or "B" or the score they like, you will be rewarded the exact same score). You will also be rewarded for your hard work (doing it right the first time) with a free work day - on anything you need to work on for school!

This is your chance to help your grade....but more importantly, to help you learn how to take tests in the future to help you be successful!!!




This Week...or Next Week:
...if we have time we will move on to (drum roll please)...

IN THE NEST - European Exploration [1000-1720]
We will start exploring Europe's Migration to America!



REMEMBER you must have a U.S. CONSTITUTION DAILY. This is not optional....ever!

We will also start learning our First 11 PRESIDENTS - keep going over all their names (first and last). Here's a sheet in case you need another one.




U.S. History Reading [permission from the author and publisher to reproduce the readings is on file]
For next Monday - Ch 22, 23, 32, 34





In case you wish to read ahead another week:







Wednesday CURRENTS will be completed in class on WEDNESDAY!

Come see me for THIS WEEK'S TOPIC if you wish to work ahead.





REMEMBER...





I gave you an extension on National Geography Bee UNIT I and II. Those MUST be turned in this Thursday. We will also be discussing the EXPEDITION challenge for next week.

If you need another copy, Unit I Sheet and Unit II Sheet are due this Thursday (we will work on them in class).

Do you know NORTH AMERICA (the nations and their capitols). Do you know the 50 states, and Canadian Provinces?


NORTH AMERICA MAP

Here are the LYRICS for the Yakko's World Song.








REMEMBER the STARK the EAGLE statue holds a DUE! signboard in my classroom. If you do not check the blogspot for deadlines, you can always check that signboard.


REMEMBER - next week you will no longer be allowed to leave class to get anything you forgot in your backpack or home room!

COME TO CLASS PREPARED!!!
