You have a few tasks to complete before you start your vacation. Use your checklist to stay organized and on task. You will need to turn in your checklist at the end of class.
First, visit the "Tomb Building" link. Plan your journey into the afterlife by carefully reading each page and following the directions. Do not check off this task until you have completed a successful afterlife planning session. It's okay to try a few times if you don't make it on your first attempt. Be sure to read the recommendations on the page to help you make better decisions on your second (or third) turn.
The next task is to visit the culturegrams link. Go to the section for "subscribers." I will give you the username and password in class. Please visit South America and check out the country links. Look for interesting topics like, "famous people" and "photo gallery." Use your checklist to record anything interesting to share with the class.
Third, I would love to hear from you. Please comment to this blog today. Tell me your thoughts on Social Studies class lately. Did you enjoy the mummy project?
If you have extra time check out the "geography games" link. Choose South America and run the country tutorial first. When you have studied the country locations, try level one. You can keep track of your improvement with your scores. Try to come up with strategies to help remember the country locations.
Keep track of your progress on your checklist. You will need to turn it in at the end of today's class. Have fun!

Yay, vacation!
I really liked the mummy project. It was fun! Although I must admit, my mummy wasn't very well-wrapped.
Happy vacation, everyone!
i really enjoyed the mummy project.it was a fun thing to end school with. what will our next project be?
On Culture grams, i went to Kid's World and found out a lot of things. One of coolest to me was that in the United States, theres 3,958,150 miles (6,370,031 km) of highways, and many more miles of roads.
Another really cool thing I found was the United States has a population of about 298 million people, which is the third largest population in the world behind China and India. I thought there was going to be a lot more but i guess not... well that is a lot now that i think about it!
Wahoo, its VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought the mummy project was the best project I've ever done. I would love to do something like that again instead of reading that HUGE book.
Can we do it again?
I thought it was it was cool. The fact I learend was that colombia is named after chiristophes columbus.
Wahoo, its VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought the mummy project was the best project I've ever done. I would love to do something like that again instead of reading that HUGE book.

Some facts that i learned for the wes sit culture grams.com is the a teenage mummy was found in Peru in 1995 she died about 500 years ago.
Argentina has some of the best polo players in the world. That was interesting.
One of Chile’s native animals is the pudu, the world's smallest deer. It about 15 inches tall. Also native to Chile, the rhea, is a huge flightless bird similar to the ostrich.
Flesh-eating piranha fish live in the rivers of Bolivia’s Oriente region. That was kinda gross!
Brazil is home to more than 700,000 different kinds of insects.
^ are the thing i learned about south America on culture grams. Social Studies is kinda boring. with the heavy books in all. I did enjoy the mummy project!!! It was a lot better then book work! i just HATE the boring books!
