Hello Parents and Guardians:
*Students will take a test on Ch. 14 next week. They will take a separate vocabulary and concept test. The vocabulary test will be on Monday and the concept test will be Wednesday or Thursday. They should study all the vocabulary words given on the syllabi. I will prepare a study guide which will be given to the students by Thursday.
*I apologize for not returning the tests to the students, yet. They should have it by Tuesday. I will need to keep it at school in order to place it in you child’s conference portfolio. Students should copy his/her grade in their planner.
*Students wishing to participate in the Newsbowl competition will meet with me during lunch on Tuesday, this week. They should bring an article pertaining to their area of expertise, in order to be prepared for the competition in March.
