Happy Friday to all!  We wrapped up this week with our States and Capitals test over the Northeast Region!  Most students did a great job!  I will return these next week, but grades are posted online.  Next week students will be getting a new group of states and capitals to begin studying.  We will not test on these until Tuesday, January 24th.  However, next week we will have Unit 10 Social Studies test on Friday. We have been studying the causes of tension between the colonists and Great Britain. Students were given the study guide yesterday and should begin studying a little each night to prepare.  I plan to play a review game in class on Thursday.

Next week we will continue our NWEA testing.  We will be taking the Reading Test on Tuesday and Thursday.

We are in the final phase of our research unit of writing.  Students have been assigned one of the thirteen original colonies to research.  We have provided them with some resources to get started, but I would encourage them to spend some time at home researching as well.  We will be working on this for the next couple of weeks.

Have a great long weekend!
