Dear Families, Tuesday, May 18, 2010 If your child is in my 1st, 2nd, or 7th period classes for science they will need to complete any worksheet that has not been turned in, and study their vocabulary words and study guide for their test(it was scheduled for this Wednesday, but I am giving all of my students 1 extra day to study). Both the vocabulary and their review test will be given on Thursday, May 20th. Please help your child take advantage of this extra time to study.
