Monday!!!

For Homework:

Language Arts: Yes, the explorer report has now moved to language arts. We will be focusing on editing and revising. You must rewrite your rough draft and double space your writing to allow for editing. If you already did this for your body paragraphs, it should not be too much work.

Math: WE HAVE A TEST TOMORROW!! Review is homework, page 203 #1-25. Please do this neatly on loose leaf with numbered problems and showing your work.

Have a great night,

Mrs. Cahill
