Mrs. Dublin's 6th grade math: I have been asked to change the math study guide and practice open response to Wednesday and the math test and open response to Thursday of each week. Since both of these open responses are completed during class time, this change shouldn’t be a problem. Math vocabulary test will still be on Wednesday.
