3. Name the only overseas department of France in South America.

Class News for the Week October 18th

Hey gang. No Voki of me this week...well, maybe later this week. This week we are going to focus on the CULTURE and ECONOMY of Canada. There will be two map quizzes, a few homework assignments, and maybe a unit exam towards the end of the week. Expect a notebook check at some point this week as well.

Any questions, let me know.

Is Your Notebook Organized?

Is it? IS IT?

Might want to think about putting papers in order and making sure those papers are IN the three rings of your three ring binder. We will be cleaning out our notebooks soon.

My Favorite Hockey Game

In honor of starting the CULTURE concept of Canada, I decided to put the video highlights of the only NHL hockey game that I've ever been to. It was a fantastic night with my best friend, Ed. Enjoy!

This is one of my favorite short clips. Just imagine the name "Mr. Lawhead" instead of Bob Kelso. Have a great LOOONG weekend and make good decisions.

October 50 States Test!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Your October 50 States Test will take place either next Thursday/Friday OR the following week. Please make sure that you are reviewing your past 50 states exam or you are working with the online quiz to the left side of the screen. If you have questions, please let me know.

Good Luck. Let's raise that overall average!!!

A Quick How To - Error Analysis

You test contains a section towards the end called Error Analysis. What this requires you to do is fairly simple. You must:

1 - Identify the incorrect statements in the letter

2 - Highlight the incorrect statement (Mr. Sgrignoli's class) or CIRCLE the incorrect statement (Mr. Lawhead's class)

3 - Correct the incorrect statement on the back of the sheet

Yep, it is that easy! There are 19 mistakes in the letter but you only need to identify 10. Good luck!

Wear PINK on Friday

Mr. Sgrignoli had a discussion with his students about the power of an idea...and how quickly it can move with technology and communication. We are trying to tie in Breast Cancer Awareness month and are asking everyone to wear pink on Friday. It's for a great cause, and with everyone wearing pink we can see how an idea can move from a classroom and change an entire school. Thanks!

WEAR PINK!!
