Wow, we are really drawing close to the end here, only 3 more weeks left till the end of the school year.  Everyday I reflect on what an awesome experience we have had this year and how much I have watched each student grow, mature, and gain a greater sense of ownership over their education.  I'm so proud of all of you.  We are witnessing you come into your own and that is a great joy to a mom especially but also to teachers.  Like Mrs. Tracie said recently, lets finish strong!

High School

Spanish -  read pp. 153-158 and do exercise 10.2

W. History - Read chapters 141, 143 and 145.

W. Literature- Read chapters 4-6 of Animal Farm or 1-6 if you are behind.  Jonathan and Jesse come up with 4 discussion questions each to lead a discussion on the book. Questions can pertain to the book or the general subject.  Complete the vocabulary words written on the board.

Anatomy-   I will be sending you vocabulary to study for quiz, but you could look through the modules to study them also. Please check your emails for the vocabulary.

Love you all so much,
