Quiz day in social studies…

Filed under Uncategorized

Classwork:
We started the day by taking two quizzes: vocabulary over chapters 21/23 and notebook quiz. We then completed a scavenger hunt over the AJC (which is Atlanta’s newspaper:). This Monday newspaper had SO MANY articles about the places we study. How cool is that? We will discuss the answers and newspapers on Monday. Tomorrow we will be watching a video about West Africa. It’s my favorite:)

Homework:
none

Remember: If you were absent, you must take the two quizzes. It is your responsibility to come to me for make-up work.

This is Mrs. Mullen saying:

Have fun at the talent show…..
