4^th Grade History and Geography

Coursework

Week Thirteen

This week we will be continuing our study of the Middle Ages. On Tuesday we will be making our own version of the Bayeux Tapestry which is a famous tapestry that depicts the Battle of Hastings. At home students are to begin to memorize the countries of Europe …. Use the Scandinavia and Great Britain handouts. If your student cannot find the handout study the following countries: England, Scotland, Wales, North Ireland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland. These are review and should be fairly easy for the students. The students need to be able to identify the country from an outline map. The best way to practice at home is to point and have them guess the country. Do this over and over and they will know the country by the name and shape. They will eventually be tested on all the countries of Europe and their capitals so consistent review is how they will accomplish this. Be looking for outline maps in their notebooks (under maps) to find the tools to help with this. If they already know them have them begin the capitals. We will test on the capitals later in the year. I would be grateful if you would also remember to sign and return on Tuesdays the assignment sheets!
