Social Studies This Week --

1. Our "All About Me" introductory unit has been completed! Look for a major hall display of Personal History Time Lines. Notebooks will be graded at the end of this week.
2. Students are creating a Geography Handbook as an appendix to their interactive notebooks.
3. Our next unit of study will be called "A Meeting of Different Worlds." The North American continent in the 1500's was the place where three groups -- Native Americans, early European explorers, and African slaves -- converged to begin the process of forging a new country, unlike any the world had ever seen.
