Welcome back from Spring Break. 
The first day of Spring was Wednesday, then we get a snow storm on Thursday.  Such are the joys of living in the Ozarks.
We are starting the fourth quarter by working with long division, ratios, and patterns in Math.
In Communication Arts we are working on commas and punctuation marks. (Check out the Links)
