What about those Cowboys? I know all of you are probably watching the game, but don't forget to practice for your spelling and map test tomorrow--you need to know how to spell and locate the 6 states of the New England Region, and the 5 states of the Mid-Atlantic Region.
This next week, we will finish our reading of King of the Wind and our discussion of MR. LIP. You will continue to read a few chapters every night, finishing the book on Thursday evening. Your test over the book and over the 5 Themes of Geography will be Tuesday, September 20. Monday, September 19 will be a big day--your Island Projects will be due and you will present them. You will also have another states spelling test that day. So please keep up with your work. Every day, do a little so that at the end (next Sunday night) you won't have to scramble!
