Asia Map Packet

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

I hope that you are enjoying the last few days of your Spring Break!  I just wanted to check in with you all about the Asia Map Packet.  Unfortunately because of the copy machine issues the school has been having I am unsure how soon I can get the packet to you.  As a result it might be better for you to print the maps out on your own and bring it to school.  We have a Mapping Monday when we return and if you want to get work on your maps done you will need to bring them to class!  You can find the maps in the link below (and also in the Mapping Resources folder at the top of the blog.

Take care and have a great last few days of your break!
