Homework for Weekend

The students will be having a quiz over Chapters 1-3 on Tues. August 30th. I have handed out a review and we have went over all of it except the last 4 questions. I have asked the students to complete and review it over the weekend. We will review in class on Monday also. I would suggest having your student read outloud chapters 1-3 to you this weekend before the test.

Have a wonderful weekend.
