Week 14: 2nd Trimester Begins! November 9th-13th

Congrats to all 7th graders for successfully completing their very first trimester of 7th grade! Overall, I am pleased with the grades and the amount of effort that students put into it. I'm excited for the new trimester, for a fresh start! I really want students to reflect on last trimester and set goals on how they can improve for the new one. Students taking ownership of their grades is a powerful thing and will continue to help them throughout their lives.

Our next unit will use ACES (Explanatory) and OREO (Argumentative) paragraphs in the context of the amazing novel, "A Long Walk to Water". I'm excited to explore this topic with students. Please look at the schedule for additional information.

As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns. I am your partner in helping your student succeed! My email is rachel.robins@washk12.org or call the school after-hours at 652-4742. Thanks so much, enjoy your week!
