Changes to Upcoming Tests & Quizzes

With the upcoming civil war project due, I will not be giving any "weekly work" or reading logs this week.  In order to prepare adequately for all the upcoming tests and quizzes, homework will be geared towards practice and studying for these items only, so as to give students time to put finishing touches on their civil war written report.

Also, to provide a better focus for the upcoming vocabulary test, I chose 25 words from the review unit.  Students should concentrate their studying efforts on spelling, part of speech and synonyms for this test.  These 25 words can be found at the end of this blog entry.
