6th grade Social Studies

Hope you are having a terrific Tuesday students and parents. We are getting so, so close to the Holidays and the middle of the school year. I hope everyone has a safe and joyous time during this season. Just a quick update on our work as of late, and a little of what's to come:
1) We will be having a quiz, on Friday (12/12/08), on the terms and types of economies that we have studied over the past few weeks. All students have been working on an "Economic Handbook" that contains the information they need for this quiz. They have been given their "handbooks" today (Tuesday 12/9/08) to take home to study for the remainder of the week.
2) The students did an absolutely wonderful job on their World War II projects. All students were given their grades on a rubric last Thursday (12/4/08).
3) When we return from break, we will begin studying the geography and history of our northern neighbors, Canada. Our studies of the North American continent will begin and we can finally start to use the textbooks we have. Yay.
