I really missed all my students last Friday, but I had a doctor’s appointment in Gainesville.  I hope you have been thinking  about some of the clubs that you may be interested in this year.   There are many really fun choices.   I will be the sponsor of the Skateboarding Club.   Imagine that!   Skateboarding  is only one of the  many new clubs  to choose from this year.   This coming week we will continue our studies of Europe and Russia.  Remember, Wednesday, August 31st, will be our second map test on Europe and Russia.  This test will be on the countries of Europe. Continue to study this new map.  Have a wonderful week as we continue to learn  about the Europe and Russia.

This week we will be beginning our studies of Europe.   Friday you were given a blank map of Europe along with a list of 10 important land and water features that are to located on the map.  The map test  will be on Wednesday, the 24th.  We will continue to explore  and identify the many countries in Europe .  Don’t forget…..TEST on Wednesday the 24th.

Monday, we will assign text books and begin to assess everyone’s knowledge of  geography and map skills.   We will continue to review rules and procedures for sixth grade.   This also includes practicing opening the combination locks on the lockers.   Everyone seems to be making progress in this area.    Don’t worry.  With a little practice, everyone will soon have the hang of it.   This week we will be working with vocabulary, maps, globes, and many different types of land forms.    I’m excited about getting to know all my wonderful, new students.

Have a wonderful and productive week.
