It was a pleasure to have met you all at the Open House last week. I enjoyed it.

There will be a quiz for 6th graders tomorrow (29 Aug) on Europe's Physical Features. We've had extensive review and students should use their class presentation notes to study for it tonight. 

7th graders will have a quiz on Southwest Asia on Thursday (31 Aug). I moved it back a day because Monday (28 Aug) is G.R.E.A.T (Gang Resistance Education Training), and Tuesday, 29 Aug we will be SGM (student growth measure) testing in the lab. This way we can review on Wednesday's class. All students should review their cloze notes 1,2,3 handouts and comphrehension check worksheet to prepare.
