Week of 1/29 to 2/2
Mood:  happy
This week countries studied included: Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile. Worksheets accompanied the learning process. We also had 2 substitute teachers this week. Some students acted out more than normal with the substitute teachers, but were able to be controlled. The independent study seems to be coming along well!

Week of 1/23 to 1/26
Mood:  happy
This week, studies were focused on the Panama Canal. Review was used to see what students remembered from previous educators. We then began South America and dug deep into Brazil. Typical Middle School problems, such as not paying attention occurred. The first week in the classroom was a definite change from what I was used to!
