Social Studies
πΊοΈ Regional Study Projects
- Students have been given their last big assignment of the year. They will be working in partnerships and groups to research a region of the world and create a presentation for their peers.
- All expectations and materials have been shared with students via Google Classroom. I have also created a timeline (which is posted in the classroom) to help students manage their workload.
- Not only will they learn about many interesting regions of the world, but they will also exercise the skills of time management, working cooperatively, and following a particular set of expectations. These are important skills that students can use and benefit from throughout school and life.
- Please ask your child about their assigned region and encourage them to stay on top of the assignment. Presentations begin on June 5th!
π― All grades are up-to-date in PowerSchool. Please review your child's scores and encourage them to turn in any missing work ASAP. Thank you!
