Blogs and Map review

Today in Human Geography Mr. Schick took the time to look over all of our blogs and helped us know what we need to work on, for example he had me add a title to my blogs for now on. After that we went over our maps worksheet. We also learned that Mr. Schick is not going to be here tomorrow, so we will have a substitute teacher because Mr. Schick will be Chaperoning on a field trip to a museum in D.C. On Wednesday, our Jv soccer team will have a home game against Loyola. I wish the best of luck to Mr. Schick on his field trip tomorrow.
