4/22/08 - Today we went to the media center where Mrs. Inman did a CRCT review for the students on research skills, etc.  There is no homework tonight.  I have decided to change the date of the capitalization quiz to Friday, 4/25/08.  Continue to study nightly for this quiz by going over packets, worksheets, workbook pages and the study guide that was given. 

REMINDER:  The CRCT test starts on Wednesday.  Make sure that the students gets a good night's sleep, eat breakfast, and bring two #2 pencils and a pleasure reading book with them each day.  They will have the reading test on Wednesday, the language arts test on Thursday, the math test on Friday, the science test on Monday, and the social studies test on Tuesday.
