- This Blog Continues All Summer
Virginia does two things that I'd love to see changed. 1) We have our state end of the year exams several weeks before the end of the year and 2) Our state legislature (both parties) consistently say they are for "education first," but refuse...
- Most Hit Sites In September

End of Year Review Package
The county where I teach has a huge database of items we have collected over the years often added to each summer as people are paid to develop new things each summer. So unfortunately I cannot give anyone the cre dit he/she deserves for this amazing review. But amazing it is. It has maps, pictures, summaries, everything you really need to know to do well in what we call "World History I," which is from pre-history through the Renaissance. If you like it, you can either download it or open Google Docs first and then go to "file" and "make a copy" and you will have your own. By the way our state exam is called the "SOL" which stands for Standards of Learning. People I meet from other states always ask if kids say it spells something else when they do not do well!
