Social Studies News Week of: Mar. 6th

This week in Social Studies we're continuing to work on our "Roving Reporters" project in which students are researching a topic related to our unit on Ancient Egypt.  They will then be preparing a script in which they will "interview" a character related to their topics.  We'll be presenting these on Wed., Thurs., and Friday this week.  Students will also have a chance to take a virtual tour through Egypt to see some of the sights we're learning about through Google Maps towards the end of the week.
