Hello Parents and Guardians:
*Students received both Chapter 14 tests last Monday. Hopefully your child showed it to you.
*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.
*Again, we will have two tests this week. Students will take a vocabulary test on Wed. and a test on Ch. 15 on Friday.
*Instead of our usual classroom Newsbowl activity, we’ll discuss an article regarding the Brown vs. Board of Education and election information
*Due to ISAT testing beginning March 4th, you will not receive a syllabus next week.
