Greetings one and all,

I'm going to apologize right away. Tomorrow the 5th graders have two tests, both in Social Studies and in Math. This is totally Mr. K's fault. Mrs. Miller has been planning her test for a week, I on the other hand thought we still had two lessons in Math before the Unit Test, I was wrong. So because of my blunder, two test tomorrow.

So here is the homework:

1. Social Studies Test (the kids have a study guide you could help them study with if you wished)

2. Math Test: Unit 1 (the kids have their homework booklets which have practice problems they could go over, also I sent home a double sided page for them to get more practice if they needed it, it's not mandatory to do)

3. PE tomorrow so bring your shoes.

*The only bonus is that since we have a Math test tomorrow, no homework in Math tomorrow night. Next math homework will come on Wednesday night.

Sorry again,

Sincerely,

Mr. K
