Dear Parents and Students,
It is hard to believe that our first quarter of classes are done. WOW! That went fast. Next quarter we are going to be studying Ancient Americas. At conferences next week students will be given their first quarter grades and any work turned in this past week. If you have any questions about what you see on the grade sheet, please feel free to give me a call.
Overall I was very pleased with the amount of work students completed with their invention essays and presentations. Thank you for letting me work with such an awesome group of students.
Some students still have out the Invention Magazine and Joshua’s Song. Please have your child bring it to conferences next week.
Thanks,
Mrs. Taylor
