Unit 1 Math Test

Hello!! A note to let you know that we need an extra day to prepare for our math test, so we will have it on Wednesday, October 6.  Page 40 on the Unit Review is due tomorrow, as well as Math Homework folders with Lessons 1-8 complete.  Some students also have "Extra Practice Sheets".  These are only intended to be extra help for studying and preparing- they are not homework. THANKS!

Also tomorrow, we have our third Word Work Test!  10 words...practice, practice!

Check out our finished glogs!
