The students will not have a regular school day during these three days.  They will be in homeroom until 12.  We will have one day of work, one day of testing, and one movie day.  The teachers have given the students work to complete that will keep the classes on track. 

Friday, December 10th

We will review the answers to the study guide and play a review game. 

HW - Notebook check and test on Ch. 6 will be Monday.

TESTING TIP!!!!!

Have your kiddo use the study guide to make flash cards for this test.  Put the questions from the study guide on one side and the answers on the other.  This is a great studying technique because they can use these to study with a buddy or they can use these to study on their own!!!!
