It's hard to believe we are almost halfway done with 3rd trimester! In English, we are in the middle of our novel The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It has been fun to explore the allegory of Christ through this wonderful story. The students have been able to work on visualizing the rich descriptions of the setting of Narnia, as well as honing their creative writing skills as they write narratives for different characters in the story. We will finish our novel in a couple weeks and move on to our poetry unit.
In PE, we are almost finished with our basketball tournament. The girls have really learned a lot about the game of basketball and have been able to practice different skills and techniques of the game. It has been fun watching them put all their skills to use as they battle each other in the tournament for a coveted mile pass.
At the end of March, my yearbook staff completed the yearbook and sent it off to print. It was such a huge undertaking and I am so proud of all the hard work that went in to making it a reality. I can't wait until they come in to see the final copy!

Digging Ourselves Out of Second Trimester
This week in English, we will finish our novel Holes! It has been such a fun book to read and I really think the kids have enjoyed it. We will finish off second trimester by finishing the book, writing an opinion essay, and completing a fun project. Of course, we will also watch the movie.
In PE we have just started our dance unit, which is always so much fun! Over the next month, the students will be learning the basics of swing dancing in preparation for our Spring Banquet coming on March 24. It is a blast to see the kids trying something new and having fun with it.
Our yearbook is coming along nicely as well. If you want to purchase a recognition ad for your student, there is still time! You just need to e-mail me the pictures you want included, along with a special message for your student to ucajhyearbook@gmail.com by Friday, March 4 to reserve your space.
As always, I am praying for our students and their families and looking forward to celebrating the Easter season with them! It's coming up so fast that it's hard to believe we're almost 2/3 of the way done with the school year!
God bless!
