Upcoming Maps and Globes Test

We hope you had a wonderful Labor Day holiday with your families!  Today your students are bringing home a study guide for next week's Social Studies test on 9/9.  Look for the study guide in your child's blue homework folder, as well as many other helpful resource materials in their Social Studies binder.  Thanks so much for all that you do!  

Today we learned a song and cheer to help us with the continents and oceans...ask your child to teach them to you!  It's a great way to review!!!
