Good example of learning beyond the classroom.

Dear 4K,
today I was very happy that many of you had contributed to your group learning of olympic athletes. Well done!
I would also like to use another example. This morning, Jolene told me that she went to do research on her own on other athletes. I thought this was wonderful. Her great attitude in learning is exemplary. Kudos Jolene!
