Math
Mr. Logan is out this week and next for paternity leave. He and his family are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their new son who is expected this week! No tutoring this week or next while Mr. L is out. In fact, tutoring will be cancelled the following two weeks between our camping trip and the teacher work day following Memorial Day. Sheesh! This week, students will be reviewing key algebra skills and will not have any homework.
Have a great week!
