Halfway done with 3rd trimester!

     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!
