Period 8 - Monday April 30
Hey gang
Sorry I can't be here today....away game at Kennard-Dale (p.s. I'd rather be in school with you guys). Anyway, here is what I need you to do in the lab while I'm away today. We are going to continue doing background research on South Africa. You must do the following items today in class:
1 - Check your school GMAIL
2 - Take a 50 States Test
3 - South Africa 54321 Worksheet (I explain it on the Voki)
4 - South Africa Vocabulary (use the internet, not the textbook)
Most students finished both today in class but it took them the majority of class to finish. If you finish early, do some additional research so that you are ahead of the game in knowing the country we are studying. Also, you can prepare for the 50 states test as well.
Sorry again for missing....I'll see you tomorrow. If you have any questions, email me and I'll try to get back to you ASAP.
Mr. Lawhead
