Sunday, February 11th

Dear Parents,

As your students prepare for the math test this week:

1) I know this is a very difficult unit, arguably the most difficult of the year. We have written the math test with this in mind and have moved the test to the Tuesday to give our students one more day of review.

2) Below are links to the answer key to the workbook review. Hopefully this helps!
