LEARN ABOUT GEORGIA

This page lists your four assignments for this summer, one every two weeks. Ask your mom or dad to help you. The websites will provide you with all the information you will need. You might even be able to visit some of these Georgia sites as a family! At the end of the summer, email your answers to my school email address: maycock@fulton.k12.ga.us

For those who respond by August 8th, a special surprise will be waiting for you at Open House in my Kindergarten classroom. Come tell me about your Georgia summer web adventure!
