Track and Field Students

I am happy to hear that you are representing Hall MS at the upcoming Track Meet. At the same time, I want you to be prepared for our second half of the Constitution Test on Monday. Originally, this second half, a 25 question MC/Matching format test, was to be given on Friday, but since several students will be attending the track meet, I moved the test to next Monday.

1. Follow the blog after class on Friday:

• Look for links to all of the materials we have used in class that will be used to create questions for the second half of the test.
• Look for questions asked in class for both periods. Study these to make sure that you understand material presented during review.

2. Send me email this weekend if you have questions about the Constitution Test - part 2. 

Good Luck,

- Mr. Rodgers
