Social Studies Test

Last Thursday a study guide went home with your child for the social studies test on Unit #6: Revolutionary War. The test is this Thursday, May 11.

I have also set up an internet game for your child to study the information on-line in a game format. We have issues keeping the same code to access the game, however, I think I found a way to keep the same code for until after our testing date. So, here is the link to the website to access the game and the code needed to enter.
