Hi,

Please check with your child to make sure they turned it in today.

***EXAM FRIDAY - PLATE TECTONICS, ch. 6, 7, 8***
On Friday, 6th graders will be taking a common assessment exam on PLATE TECTONICS (all 6th graders in the school take this same test).
It mostly covers chapter 6 with a little from ch. 7 & 8.
Have your child review these concepts:

Plates and Plate Boundaries
Layers of the Earth
Lithosphere/ Asthenosphere
Continental Drift and Pangaea (and Alfred Wegener)
Sea floor spreading
Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Mountains

***FRIDAY, NOV. 20 -- FINAL DAY TO TURN IN WORK FOR TRIMESTER 1****
