Mrs. Churvis’ Blog- Social Studies – Language Arts – APEX

Four days left to our study of South America.  We will cover the last two sections this week and take a test on Thursday.  When we come back in January we will be ready to start Europe.  I am very excited about this unit.  I lived in England for five years and have very fond memories of the land and its people.  I hope that this will make the unit a little more interesting to the students.

Remember  the country report is due Wednesday, December 19th!!!!!!! No extensions given.

Latin American Project is due Dec. 19. Please refer to the directions and rubric sent home on green paper. If you need another piece of poster size paper, just let me know. You have had and still will continue to have time in class to work on the reports. I have seen a few nearly completed posters, and they look pretty good. Keep up the hard work.

Just a reminder that our Angel Tree child still needs a few things. If you’d like, sent in cash so I can purchase a bike.  That and Leggos were all he wanted for toys.  The last day to send in money will be the 13th.  So far we have collected a fair amount of clothes.

This weeks agenda:

Chapter 11  Atlantic S. America

• Sec. 1 Physical Geography
• Sec. 2 Brazil
• Sec. 3 Argentina
• Sec. 4 Uruguay & Paraguay
• Review
• Chapter 11 Quiz

We are continuing Ch. 10, the Caribbean S. America this week.  Hopefully, we will finish all of South America before Christmas.  Then we can begin Europe at the start of the new year.  There will be a small project to go with South America.  A very small project.  It uses only one sheet of poster size paper, which I will provide.  I will send home the rubric, as well as post it on the blog.  It will be due before Christmas break.  See you on Monday!
