Week 19: December 14-18 Last Week of 2015!

We finished "A Long Walk to Water" today: what a spectacular read! I think the students walked away with an appreciate of good literature and compassion for the plight that struggling countries are in. We are so lucky to live in America. I am excited to watch "The Good Lie" to allow the students to compare mediums and analyze theme.

Note that Thursday is our Common Formative Assessment #3. This is where students are tested on our GVC's: the things they MUST know to proceed with curriculum. Please encourage your student to study the parts and definitions of ACES and OREO paragraphs. Friday is my favorite day of the year. We will read some traditional Christmas literature and enjoy coco. Details will be coming home next week.

It's a fun week coming up, take a look at what is planned. I am a partner with parents in children's education so please let me know how I can support you! Please email at rachel.robins@washk12.org or call me at 435-652-4742.
