Please write your homework in your assignment book.
Please review the goal and agenda for the day (posted in the classroom).

Today in class you will 

• begin to understand how climate, physical features, and natural resources influence settlement and economics in  the Andes Mountains.
• analyze how people adapt to a mountain region.
• create images and symbols.

Why?

• To notice patterns in the world.

• To better understand the connection between geography and people.

Parents: Don't Ask Your Child, "What Did You Do in School Today?"

Instead, you could ask your child the following: 

• Explain what influenced how people adapted to living in different areas of the Andes.
