Please read carefully- There are some changes from my previous blogs.
States and Capitals test- There will not be a mandatory 50 states and capitals test, since this is no longer a standard. HOWEVER, some children have already studied and would like to take the test. Mrs. Branch will only grade those tests that have at least 85% correct. Once 16 are missed, she will quit grading. The children are given a US map with the states numbered, as well as an alphabetized list of the states and capitals. This will NOT hurt their grade. Optional test will be given on Thursday, May 14.
1800's test in SS- on Friday instead of Thursday (please correct yellow calendar) Study sheet went home last week. They have been graded and are going home today.
Spelling- I am trying to complete another unit in Wordly Wise so I am dropping the last spelling unit. The students do not have any spelling this week or next week.

Report Card Envelopes- were sent home last week. PLease put 2 stamps on the envelope and return it to school. Thank you. You are also more than welcome to attach a sticky note saying that you will pick-up your child's report after June 1. Then no postage is necessary.
