Please, please, please continue studying ALL 50 states location and spelling. The 50 states quiz is Friday, October 19th. States ONLY not the capitals for the final test.
The students received instruction last Friday about their States Menu Project. We will have in-class time this week, Wednesday and Thursday. Anything not completed in class is the students' responsibility to complete at home.

We are learning about the microscope. We will carry out this lesson through next week, so the vocabulary test will not be until next week.
