Some of you asked me about this today and it has been posted since last week! The study guide for the FINAL EXAM is posted and downloadable under the MAY 15 lesson plan info. below! Scroll down, find Friday, May 15, and check it out! :)
FINAL EXAM=WEDNESDAY!!!

It's Monday, May 18 today, and I still need books from:
Ben D., Brian O., Jordan D., Sue E., Chase G., Brad H., Daniel M., Zach P., Zach M., DaeAhna, Gavin, Alex R., Ben W., Isabella, Olivia, Piero, Timmy, Phillip N., and Wilson R.!!!

Don't let this study guide overwhelm you! Remember--you guys told me that the Social Studies CRCT was EASY! :) This final should be similar. It covers BIG ideas and concepts that we studied this year. It consists of 100 multiple choice questions and the study guide is VERY similar to the actual test. We will "cram" between now and then. You will do GREAT! I am not posting the study guide answers just yet, but here is the study guide itself for you to look over.
