1. Complete your morning routine! Be sure to turn in any important papers to the “Notes for Ms. Bragg” box (like your signed test!). Don’t forget about snack.
2. Find a partner and take out your Virginia Studies flashcards and your writing notebook. First, share your writing with your partner... Then study your flashcards together. You’ll need to be efficient with your time!
