Europe Assignments

Good morning and happy last week before Spring Break. I can't believe there are only nine more weeks of school! This week we will be working on a Europe assignment. Each kid has been given a country that they are assigned and they are making books on their country. The top books will be selected to present to the primary school. The students with those books will get to read them to the students.

With our emphasis on Common Core, this is a great assignment that meets many standards. I have taken the time to list some of these standards. If you have any questions about the assignment or Common Core standards, don't hesitate to leave a comment or shoot me an e-mail.
