Homework January 20 - 26

Wednesday and Thursday, January 20 & 21:
Students should review the Study Guide for the Weather Unit. Our unit test will be on Friday of this week. In addition to reviewing at home, we will also review in class.

On Monday and Tuesday, January 25 & 26 of next week students will take the mid-term for Science. This assessment will cover units in Science they have learned this year so far. The questions are taken directly from the Released EOG so students will be familiar with those types of questions.
There is no homework from Mr. Kiser during testing days.
