Parents,

     Just to keep ya informed, I wanted you to know that a Social Studies test is on the horizon. The first full week in March, to be exact.A study guide will be coming. Also, that same week, the kids can expect a test in Science also. Let me look into a study guide as well. Somebody remind me, if I forget.
     Also, the kids are taking a Science benchmark on Thursday. It's like a STAAR practice. It will cover all the stuff we will cover over the remainder of the year so they can expect to see things they haven't been taught. I will be reminding them to use their strategies and to think through it. Please help me remind them too!
