Class Documents

Hi Everyone!

I've posted everything we've covered so far to this link: http://eyskmedia.com/msreiddocuments
There's a folder called Socials 8 and inside it there are 3 folders...Block 1, Blocks 3 and 5, and India Today Stations.  Anything that's specific to your blocks (like project outlines) will be in the Block folders, everything from our stations day will be in the India Today Stations folder, and everything else will just float around in the Socials 8 folder.

Hope this helps!

Next SS8 Class (January 31/Feb 1)

Hi everyone!
This is a friendly reminder to bring your textbooks next class and to bring back your Maurya Empire worksheets from today if you took them home with you.

Also, I forgot to mention that at the beginning of next class we'll be "celebrating" a festival called Dusshera :) See you all then!

SS8 Honours Research Posts

Block 1 SS8 Honours Students:
Please post 1 fact that you researched about your artifact by commenting on this post before our next class on Monday, January 28th.  Remember to read other posts so that you and one of your group members don't post the same fact.

Sample post:
Artifact #10 (box of tea)
Fact: Until recently most of the tea in the world was grown in India. China now grows more tea than India.
- Ms. Reid

I look forward to seeing all of the cool facts you guys find!  See you on Monday!

Downloading Class Documents

Hi guys!  Hope you had fun during our first lesson...can't wait to arrive in India with you all tomorrow and Thursday!  Whenever I post a PowerPoint or assignment I'll let you know.  The link to download those documents is: http://eyskmedia.com/msreiddocuments

So here it is - a place for our Social Studies class to access assignments, resources and interesting Socials information :) I'm really excited to start teaching you all later this month!
