Today in class we reviewed for CRCT's.  We went over homework and began looking at the CRCT practice test that you took in class on Tuesday.  We did a review sheet in class on GA citizenship and checks and balances in the government, checked homework on the Civil Rights movement and began to go over the physiographic regions of our state.  Hopefully, you finished the worksheet in class and you have no homework!  Classes that will meet tomorrow after CRCT's are 6, 3 and 2.
