Week 28 3/31/26 - 4/6/26

Easter poses a bit of confusion with the Tuesday/Thursday schedule at times. Since we have Friday off of Good Friday and our day off for "Easter Monday" is Tuesday, technically we are supposed to have homeschool work on Monday 4/6. I have decided to post Monday's work on this week to let you get it done early if you wish to enjoy a nice, long Easter break. Feel free to complete it whenever you wish but make sure to have everything ready to turn in in their blue folder by Thursday 4/9. Please reach out if you have any questions.
