SS Weekly Activities

We enjoy using our materials from Studies Weekly. Every five days or so, we receive a new newspaper full of interesting articles. We read them, do activities related to them, and take a test on them every week. Log in to your PantherNet account and click the red "Studies Weekly" box to access these resources.

Are you looking for something to do? Brush up on your states and capitals, visit a museum, or read some historical fiction:
