The students will keep a notebook in the social studies section of their binder. This notebook will include the vocabulary and important concepts that the students learn as they progress through the chapter. The students will have a Table of Contents to help them keep their notebook organized. The pages of the notebook should be kept in the same order as they appear on the Table of Contents.The children will be informed of an upcoming test at least a week prior to a test, so they have plenty of time to prepare for the test.
