Progress reports should be out by Wednesday. They will include an Explorers'
Chart quiz and the final U.S. states map quiz. Students received a
chart/study guide on the explorers. We discussed each explorer in detail and
highlighted the test material. Students had a week to study. The final U.S.
map quiz was the FOURTH quiz on the states. Students had to locate and spell
the states correctly. Most aced this one!!!! Others still have not mastered
this FOURTH grade skill. Geography is one of the lowest scores on the I-LEAP,
and students have to master this material.
