At Home Learning 4/27/20 – 5/8/20

Students, during this 4th and final round of at-home learning, please go ahead and do the following two map assignments on Africa and Asia. When you have completed them, you can just email me your answers without having to take pictures of your completed maps. So for the Africa map, you can just email me your answers 1-40 and for the Asia map, just email me your answers 1-49. Again, my email is [email protected]. Since, we are officially not going back to school now, I need you to email all 4 of the assignments to me, since this started several weeks ago. Please let me know if you are having any problems and I will help you any way I can. 

Hope yall are all doing well!

Thanks,

Coach Blankenship
