September 13, 2013 SOCIAL STUDIES: STUDENTS NEED TO COMPLETE A MAP OF THE WORLD BY ONLY LABELING THE 7 CONTINENTS AND 4 OCEANS. USE PAGE 140-141 OF TEXT. DO NOT COLOR ONLY PRINT TO READ NAMES. DUE ON FRIDAY. THIS WILL BE A GREAT WAY TO LEARN CONTINENTS AND OCENAS FOR QUIZES.

Social Studies- All BERLIN students need to complete their maps of the world. They have a rubric and a map to follow. I did tell them that coloring was not important because it distorts a map. But they should use colored pencils, crayons or markers to write or underline each location. They may color in the outline of the continent or country. Neatness and legibility is more important. Science- NO HOME WORK

Camp deposit

Just wanted to let parents know that camp deposit ($20.00) can be turned in before curriculum night, this will elevate the wait time for receipts. The deposit holds your child’s spot for camp. We accept both cash/check. If you are writing a check, please make it out to Mason Middle School; also please make sure the students first and last name is written in the memo portion. A receipt will be stapled into the student’s planner upon receiving money. Money can be given to Ms.Smith.

Spirit wear

Just wanted to remind all students to wear their Mason shirts tomorrow!!!
