Dear Parents,
We made it to the week before Spring break and the end of Quarter 3! I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL break just getting to rest and relax!
Before we all get too anxious for the time off, we want to take the entire week to make sure we give them thorough and complete math lessons which introduce fractions! We're also starting our new poem next week, so be looking for the new Quarter 4 Poem, "Holy, Holy, Holy" in your child's binder.
Have a great Spring break!
In Christ,
Mrs. Poncy
