Quiz tomorrow + next assignment

We have a quiz tomorrow on European physical features. We took a pre-test today so the students would know exactly how prepared they were and what they needed to study.
If your child says she already knows all of the required physical features and why they are important, please ask her how she did today on the practice quiz. Some of the games at http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/European_Geography.htm do a good job of letting students practice for the water features they need to know, plus additional features for those of you who'd like your child to learn information beyond the standards.

After the quiz tomorrow we'll begin learning about European history. Georgia has decided that our focus is on modern Europe, so we won't be teaching much about Europe before the 1400s. We'll begin with how Europe in 1450 was somewhat isolated geographically, where Europeans wanted to go, why they wanted to go there, and how they planned to get there. As we learn the history we'll also begin learning the countries of Europe.
