Fortis Academy Second Grade (M/W) - March 31-April 4, 2025

For Grammar, please continue reviewing the content on p 230 of the teacher manual, Ch. 15 L3, Practice 1.  We will have a quiz on this information this week in Grammar.  Students should be fluent in their understanding of these review concepts.  We are also practicing them in class.

Please also review the poetry at home.  While I teach all of the new content at school, reviewing it twice a week is not enough for students to be able to recite them.  We're hoping to be able to have a presentation for our parents this Spring :)
