Word Study Test and Daily Grade on Friday

Social Studies-  We will take our vocabulary test this Friday, Oct. 19th.  I had planned to give this a week ago, but with our interim testing last week, scheduling changes, etc. I just didn't feel we were ready. All students have the vocabulary in their journals.  You can also print this from the study guide section here on the class website.

Math-  We are working on dividing up to a 4-digit dividend by a one digit divisor.  We will most likely test on this on October 21.  Please continue to work on basic division and multiplication facts at home. Accuracy is also an important factor.
