We just completed our study of Europe.  

Next comes Latin America and I will announce their big LA project for the fourth quarter.  We will start with Central America and the Islands and then move into South America.  As you know, the book is available online at ncjourneys.com.  Click on the sixth grade text and then log in.  The id is  mrwsocialstudies and the password is   cgms.    This is where much of our weekend homework will come from.

Thanks for being interested in your student's school work and social studies.

Peace
