Week of March 26

Well, here we are one week into the 4th quarter - Wow! can you believe these children will soon be called Jr. Highers???  Most of them are well over the half-way mark of becoming a legal adult.

I hope that this last quarter will be full of wonder, excited learning, deepening relationships and contemplation of starting afresh.   May each student deeply think about the person they want to be and make steps toward refining  that character.  May they decide to be their best in order to step out and make this world a better place.

Math: We are continuing the volume unit as well as doing some AZ Merit prep.
