Today starts the Year of the Dragon on the Chinese Calendar. Although we call it "Chinese New Year" it's really the Lunar New Year because all Asian countries will celebrate this holiday during the next 14 days.
We did an Open Book Quiz over section 1 of Chapter 10 - Caribbean South America. I asked the kids to write the page number where they found the answer. Many kids don't know how to take an open book quiz, so I'm hoping that by asking for the page number ( it's only three pages of reading), they will ACTUALLY use the book. It is very discouraging when kids fail an open book quiz.
There is no homework tonight unless the quiz is incomplete by the end of class.
Don't forget, the booklet pages are on my LMS website in the Classroom Documents Section; the booklet is entitled "CSA Chapter 10".
All blog information is also on my Facebook page: MrsWood SocialStudies (two words, like a first and last name).
Thanks,
Cathy
