Europe Map

We will be having our Europe Map Quiz next Tuesday, Sept. 1st. We have reviewed the map already in class & students have been given a map which they can study from. A really good website called ilike2learn.com is a great way for students to study. Make sure to take the "Europe Map Quiz (Easy)" portion.

Today will be a quiz over sections 1 & 2 of Chapter 1. Have a great day!
