7th grade: Spiral 12 due tomorrow (Tuesday 11/9), Spiral 13 will go home tomorrow and is due next Tuesday 11/16. We are finishing up in Chapter 4, chapter 4 test this Friday. Review sheets are going home today and we are covering the last section today that will be on Friday's test. Remember- you will have a sub Friday and you will still have a test on Friday! You will be well-prepared for this test!
