  Week 8 This week will be a shorter one in our leveling classes, as we focus on remedial work and addressing any unfinished or challenging topics. My goal is to strengthen the students' knowledge and skills in preparation for the upcoming Mid-Term exams.

Additionally, on Wednesday, April 2nd, during Period 4, we will have a special “Reverse Teaching” lesson. In this creative and engaging activity, students will take on the role of the teacher for five-minute segments, introducing the class to a craft, lesson, game, or topic of their choice. Students will be selected at random through our HiTeach name wheel. I am confident this will be a fun and enriching...
