Locker Clean Out
We cleaned lockers today during our WIN classes. Hopefully, your child will have all the sweatshirts, socks, and jackets that they have left inside over the winter at home now. It's amazing what we find in those things!!

This year we have been learning the names of the 50 states. We took a pretest the first month of school, a mid-year test, and will soon take the final test. The expectation is that students will be able to label 25 of the 50 United States. The test is scheduled for Wednesday, May 15th. I have attached a practice sheet and answer key. Feel free to print multiple copies so your child can practice at home.
