Week of August 18 2014

History SOL:  US1.2b
Writing SOL:  5.7

History:  This week students will be reviewing our continents and oceans.  A follow up quiz will be on Friday.  In addition, students will learn new information about the 8 geographic regions of North America.  Wednesday wie will complete a goals test.  The purpose of this test is to help me see how the students are progressing through the year.  This test allows me to set a base line.

Writing:  Students this week will work on "Show not tell".  This means that students will use descriptive words to add tone and voice to their sentences.  Be sure to ask about the lesson this week.
