This will be the last blog post (I think) before Spring Break.  I hope you and your family have a wonderful reprieve from the normal routines and schedules during the days of Spring Break.  I pray that you will have time to revel in the glory of our crucified and risen Savior.  I'll look forward to seeing everyone again on April 8!

HOLY WEEK - We will be using our devotions time at school this week to reflect on the death and resurrection of our Savior.

READING AND MATH MINUTE HOMEWORK - We will NOT have reading and math minutes again until after Spring Break (although I strongly encourage LOTS of reading during the down time in the next two weeks!).  

WORD WORK - We will NOT have a word work (spelling) test this coming week.
