Fortis Academy Second Grade-12/7-12/11

Please make sure to turn in History Journals on Monday so I can grade them and return them Wednesday!  Don't forget our classical book exchange and class party on Wednesday :)

Have a wonderful Christmas break!  I hope it is full of rest and memories for your family.  It has been a pleasure to spend this first semester with your children and I can't wait to see them back in January.  Each one of them fills me with joy!
