Dear Parents,
I am so excited to share that 2nd grade has been invited to join MDO on March 4th for a Wild Zoo Safari demonstration in the fellowship hall! We will join MDO at 10:00 am on Wednesday to see exotic animals such as bearded dragons, kangaroo/wallabys, foxes, lemurs, etc. It should be a great (and educational) time!
This academic quarter is wrapping up and quarter 4 is almost upon us. The year is going by too fast! This week, we are wrapping up our money unit before Spring break and then moving on to fractions when we return.
Have a wonderful homeschool week!
Blessings,
Mrs. Poncy
