Content:
Today in content we spent a lot of time reviewing chapter 1. The students also took time to create challenge questions of their own. We will use these questions as a short review prior to the test on Thursday. Please be sure to reread the chapter. It is a short one! It is also helpful to review the study guide and the geography dictionary as well.
(We will not have content tomorrow due to D.A.R.E, so please remember to study tomorrow night.)

Homework:
***Study for the test which will be on Thursday

Reminders:
***Afternoon Adventures forms were sent home today.

Until tomorrow...
