Dear Algebra students,

Trimester I is coming to a close. I wanted you to know that I've been
very impressed with your mathematical expertise and problem solving. You
have accepted the challenge of the new CD program with enthusiasm (even
when I make you complete tedious portfolios). You good-naturedly worked
in groups on a word problem test even though it's very difficult to
depend on others for your grade. Overall, you've completed homework more
consistently than any group I've taught in the past. You deserve a
resounding, "Congratulations...keep up the great work!"

Mrs. Ward
