South America

We are continuing to work with the South American map.  Map reading is really reading for detail, so it's great practice, and it's different than "read a paragraph, answer questions".

Several kids had failed to turn in their paragraphs describing the Economy of their "Created Country".  I put names on the board, and those who had not turned in their paragraphs were not surprised.  The final opportunity to turn in the paragraph without getting zapped will be tomorrow, January 11, 2012.  This work was assigned December 5, and was due December 15.

There is no homework because I can't let the maps go home.  I have told kids that if they want to come down during lunch, with their lunch, and work on their maps, eat lunch, and listen to "old lady" radio, they are more than welcome!

Thanks,
Cathy
