And...We're Back! I hope everyone enjoyed their Spring Break. I caught up on some much needed time relaxing with friends at the beach. Now that we're back to reality, it's time to really buckle down to ensure we all finish the year strong. I'm confident that the 4th nine weeks of school will be the BEST!

In math specifically, we are jumping right back into our study of Geometry. Thus far in Unit 5, we have studied shapes, mainly triangles. Having said this, throughout the next week, we will begin to explore topics such as surface area and volume.

In terms of grades during the 3rd nine weeks, I have one more assignment to entered into the grade book. All grades will be updated and posted by Thursday.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Go Panthers!
