Miss Zelle's Class will take their chapter 27 math quiz on Wednesday.  They should study the following:

• Adding and Subtracting Decimals and Money- Remember to line up the decimal point, check the sign to see if you are adding or subtracting, add or subtract, and bring down the decimal point and dollar sign if there is one. 

Study guides are due on Wednesday.  We will review before taking the quiz.
