One set of exams down, one to go! 3-509 has been working hard, and is ready to take the State Math Exams this Wednesday-Friday (April 13th-15th). Like last week, please encourage the kids to get to bed at a good hour, eat a great breakfast, and arrive with enough time so sprinting up to the 5th floor is not needed. We will start each day at 9:00 am.
This week I am not assigning homework once again. I want the kids to feel rested and refreshed for the end of the week. If the weather is nice, fresh air is the best medicine!
I AM SO PROUD of the work our kids have been doing. Their grit and resilience is truly inspiring, and last week I saw students truly giving 100%. They were calm, prepared, and confident, and I can't thank you enough for reinforcing this mentality at home. Let's do it one more time!

This week we are revisiting how jot and take notes about a country, and explore various text features to help us do so. Students will also continue to work on their independent projects. All independent project work will be completed in class, and we will share our work on April 22nd.
