Mexico Flip Book and Map of South America

Greetings,

The Mexico Flip Book was due today, and the majority of  kids did turn in the assignment. Check Infinite Campus to see if your child has the 5 points applied to "Turning the assignment in on time" score. Many kids went "above and beyond" on their assignment, and those flip books are displayed on the board under the title "This is BEAUTIFUL work!"  Extra effort deserves extra praise.

We have been working on a "Political and Climate Map" of South America the past two days.  This assignment is due Thursday, May 22.  This information has been on the Assignment Board since yesterday, and the due date was repeated several times during class.  Many students have already turned in their maps!

Tomorrow we will start a new map activity "Mapping Wealth and Poverty in Brazil".  This will be a two day assignment, too.  The first part of the assignment will require the kids to put GDP data in order from lowest to highest value.  The second part of the assignment will require kids to color areas based on the GDP data.

We are approaching South America through geography right now; next week we will be start an individual project!

Thanks,
Cathy
