In social studies this week students are continuing to learn
more about a geographer’s favorite tool … maps! Students will be creating their
own basic maps of places familiar to them and we will be learning about latitude
and longitude. We will be learning how to use latitude and longitude to
determine absolute location, and then we will be practicing our skills in a
variety of ways including a latitude and longitude battleship game. Looking
forward to a great week!

A great start!
7th and 8th grade social studies are off to a great start! I have enjoyed getting to know all my new students and am looking forward to a excellent year. Tomorrow we will be diving into our social studies content head first as we begin reviewing maps and mapping skills. Just a reminder students need to bring a notebook that can be used for daily writing assignments. See you tomorrow!
