As we near the last nine-weeks, we are working on building independence and a love for learning. The students are figuring out subjects they like and dislike, as well as subjects they are good at and weak at. Help me to encourage them to do their very best and to honor God in all they do. Teaching them this above all will lead to lifelong rewards!
