A note from Ms. Klee:

Fourth grade will be having a test over Electricity and Magnetism (Chapter 16 of their book) on Friday. They received a study guide today, which is due Wednesday before class. We will review all the answers together, then play a review game. I will not see the 4th graders on Thursday, so if they have any questions, please encourage your child to ask me during school or after school on Thursday. I will be here until at least 3:45.

Most students brought their textbooks home. The study guide comes directly from their textbooks. However, the students have various sets of notes in their notebooks, worksheets, and mini-book on Electricity and Magnetism. Please refer to these references when trying to complete the study guide.

Thanks
