Week 5
Week 5 is coming down to a close. Your presentations are this week, movie review day is on Friday, and we still need to wrap up a few group projects. If we have time, we will do more poetry, as requested by several students.
Thank you all for coming to class and spending part of your summer here at St. John the Baptist Catholic School. This was a different learning experience for most of you. Technology can be fun and challenging at the same time. The more challenges and new "food" we face, the better we can digest a variety of things; experiences like this will make you strong learners. I will miss you all after this week and hope that you stay on track with your dreams and never let your brain "sleep". Mrs. B
