Welcome to World Geography!

  Welcome back students! I trust you enjoyed your long weekend and are ready for a new semester!
  Today in World Geography we began class with a notecard and a question - If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? We used this to start a class discussion and we will come back to these later - so stay tuned!
  We went over the syllabus today and you need to have a parent fill out the info sheet so you can return it for class tomorrow. We went through introductions and there is a "contract" on the bottom of the parent letter that also needs to be signed and returned for class tomorrow.
  After a little icebreaker activity, we took a pre-test to gauge our geography skills. We reviewed this in class,   but I will also look at these to gain a consensus for our class geography aptitude.
  Today we also got our textbooks! Please make sure to write your name in ink in the front cover. We will use these often during class, so come prepared!
  I'm excited about this new semester and the road ahead of us! Please feel free to email me or come by my room if you ever have any questions or issues.
