This is the last of the SOL Material to be covered! When we finish all of the things listed above (1-5) then your child should have taken notes and had practice on ALL of the 5th-Grade SOLs! Next week is Intersession followed by Spring Break and then the rest of the weeks before SOL Testing, we will be remediating, taking questions, practicing and reviewing. As always, your child is welcome to come to me in the morning at 8:05-8:20 to ask questions one-on-one and get help. I have told all of the students this since the first day of school and very few of them come to me for help.
