Today in class, students were assigned a seating plan. They were handed out textbooks. They were given maps of the four Atlantic Provinces. They were taught about Longitude and Latitude. They were also sent home with a worksheet assignment; the expectation being that they identify the latitude/longitude coordinates for the first three locations: Blackville, NB; O'Leary, PE, & Windsor, NS.
IF a student was absent or forgot their sheet at school, that is not an excuse. If you don't understand the work, ask a parent for help; call a friend (you'd do the same for gossip of what happened at school, make it the same for work).
I have, for your benefit included the worksheet and a picture of the map which all of the students are using.
