Mr. K in Room 508‪!‬ Mr. Krueger

Sorry that you had to take test on the computer today, but tomorrow will be better!

Today we finished up our cultural murals project! After we take the CTP test tomorrow we'll be reviewing for our first unit test next week Monday!



Here's what you can expect on the test:

Continents and Oceans

Five Themes

Classroom Expectations

I'm trying to do better about letting you know what is going on! This episode talks about where we've been over the past few days! 



1. Location and Place Posters

2. Classroom Bill of Rights

3. Using Coordinates to Find the Continents and Oceans

Monday we took note on the difference between location and place in terms of geography.

Location is strictly the WHERE... like an address or a room number.

Place is who you would define that particular location. Like a school or a barber shop.

On Tuesday we brainstormed for our CLASSROOM BILL OF RIGHTS!

Just wanted to update you on what we've been working on this week in geography! On Monday we took our continents and oceans quiz which we rocked then talked about keeping our binders and notebooks organized. On Tuesday we started our study of the six social sciences: geography, psychology, economics, history, sociology, and civics. You wrote down the dictionary definitions for each then worked with the people around you to create definitions in your own words. Tomorrow we will be using our definitions to diagram a social scientist!

Remember that we are having a map quiz on Monday the 9th and your homework for the weekend was creating a map of a place you go this weekend or a place that you know well!!
