Classwork: We wrote in our chromebooks and filled out the charts for the first four vocab words. We also took a quiz on Chapter 1. It was 6 questions long. The score will be in Infinite Campus tomorrow. We started studying landforms and were exposed to at least 3 that we did not know before.
Homework: If it is OK, ask parents if they can get you the free app of Google Earth on your CHROMEBOOK. Some chromebooks do not allow it, so Google Maps will work just as well. Feel free to explore some of the landforms and physical features we talked about. Examples: straits, peninsulas, archipelagoes, etc.
