In Math, we are finishing a review of place value, counting money, and counting change. We will have a test on Tuesday. Students will bring home a Study Guide to complete that will be very similar to their test.

In Science, we are near the end of our work with Forces and Motion and will test on Wednesday after we do some review work on Monday and Tuesday.

In Social Studies, we are finishing and reviewing Chapter 1: What Are Communities? We will likely have a test on Thursday. Students will bring home their books and study materials to help them prepare.
