I hope you all enjoyed spending time with loved ones over the holiday weekend. I’m looking forward to finishing the semester strong!
This Week:

Literature: Students will study setting and characterization as we continue our reading through Robin Hood.
Greek and Latin Roots: This Wednesday, students will take their weekly quiz and will learn the next three roots in the set. Students should review roots cards to prepare for their quiz they will take every Wednesday.

I hope all our scholars are well-rested and rejuvenated for the full week ahead. I’m eager for a strong finish these next three and-a-half weeks!
