 Today we continued reviewing for the exams. We reviewed the vocabulary from The Man Who Invented Basketball, with a focus on matching the words with their definitions. We did two worksheets in class matching the words to the definitions. This weekend's homework is to correct the worksheets, and to study for the exams. The exam scope was sent home today. It is in the communication books. All of the review material we have used for the first unit is in this slideshow. Please feel free to review it with your child. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1bfyiwUAVlbAsNCSYWwZM2jmnCY5g7fEaUs3GwFdQNkI/edit?usp=sharing
