Hi, Students! We had a GREAT week last week and celebrated some class birthdays! Saturday school was a full house, and I was glad to see you there. I am sure this week will another great one. We'll continue to start each class with a CRCT practice question to practice our test taking strategies. Homework each night is to read from your textbook in GA Studies to learn about the CIVIL WAR. Those activities not finished in class will be assigned for homework. Please keep taking advantage of afterschool tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays Saturday school will be available again starting Feb 28. The theme will be “Take Me Out to the Ball Park” and you can wear your favorite jerseys. Check with me or Ms. Elliott for more information.
See you Monday! Ms. Holden
