... progressions. A
progression is a step by step method of learning skills, beginning with the easy
ones and gradually mastering the more difficult ones. If you wanted to learn a

... about life at school, and then she told me the news. I was chose out of 180 students to be in the first class of AVID, at Sullivan Middle School.
