No homework, though I mean to give some to 7th grade SS and accidentally copied the wrong pages. They'll get the homework tomorrow though the trees are dead forever now.
TEST ON FRIDAY IN 6TH GRADE SOCIAL STUDIES. They put together the study guide themselves in class yesterday (Tuesday) so they should have pa-lenty of time to study. This one is on South America and will be the same format as the test on Africa; half vocabulary and half map placement. A great opportunity to sink or swim, with a Spanish or Portuguese accent.
