Well, the math test will actually happen tomorrow. We're ready, we're set. In social, our dioramas are going in the front display case of the school so we need to continue our research of our groups in order to create information sheets, posters, etc. to accompany our fabulous shelters. We will be finished our weather unit soon and have begun to review. We will start electricity in the near future. We continue with geometry in math. Terms to know: parallel, perpendicular, diagonal, horizontal, vertical, intersecting.

I will be away for the next two days so look for homework information on the blog on Friday. Have a great week!
