Quarter 3 Test Review Checklist
Directions: Create your own flashcards. Answer each question. Fold the paper in
half (hotdog style) down the middle line. If you so desire, cut each “answer slip”
horizontally until you reach the folded line, so you can reveal each answer one at a
time. See Ms. Kenny if this direction confuses you.
