Lesson Comments
Today's lesson was Kaitlyn's first day returning to the Batt Sch. Campus. She was understandably tired due to late night travel back from Texas. She was well focused on our lesson involving Buddhism and the emphasis on inner peace, ending suffering, and the rejection of excessive material possessions. Kaitlyn will have 2 AP WH textbooks due to her duel locations and this will benefit her ability to keep pace with weekly assignments.
