SOCIAL STUDIES: We will begin Chapter 8 (The Colonies Unite). This chapter has LOTS of important
information, so we will have a Vocabulary Test and a Concept Test to break things down. Please
study a little each night.
Students may return study guides on test day with a parent signature and how long he/she studied
for 5 bonus points on the test.
When studying for social studies, I encourage you to focus on the information on the study guide.
The study guide is taken directly from the test. It would be helpful to go over this information for a
few minutes each night to avoid the last minute "cramming" for the test.
*I have sent home username and passwords for the online S.S. book--they are taped inside cover of
the planner. Go to my links page to access the website.
LANGUAGE: singular/plural possessive nouns/writing-"What Christmas Means to Me"
*Don't forget to check Ms. Hale's website for Math & Science info.
Have a super week---I know we will!
