Humanities - 10/15

Kudos to our kiddos for persevering through two weeks of NECAP testing. We appreciate the effort that students put in and the support that you showed during this time. Now we are ready to delve into the humanities content and skills that will support a rigorous and exciting course of study for the year. We are spending this shortened week sharpening our map reading skills - knowing the parts of a map, how to use a compass to find direction, scale to find distance, and latitude and longitude to find absolute location. Once we are all on board with these skills, we can move forward with our unit on exploration. There will likely be nightly practice assignments for students to put these skills to use. Please check your child's planner for more information.
