Social Studies
We will have a quiz on the Southeast region chapter 6 vocabulary and the Southeast state map on Friday, January 19th. This will not be an open note quiz. Students will be responsible for correctly locating and spelling each of the 12 Southeast states and be familiar with the chapter 6 vocabulary words. All of this information is located in the social studies interactive notebook. Students should be reviewing this daily as part of their social studies homework. Students will have a unit test on the Southeast Region on Thursday, Jan. 25. Students will receive a study guide for this test on Friday, 1/19 to glue into the social studies notebook. In order for your child to do their very best on the unit test they will need to complete the study guide using the notes from their interactive notebook.

On Monday, January 22 – Friday, January 26, each class will be collecting money as follows…
Monday – pennies

Good luck and have fun!
