Week 25: February 8th-12th

It's been a fun week in Language Arts: ok, I know I say it every week, but I really mean it. The highlight for me was watching the students do Thursday's activity with QR codes as they did a scavenger hunt in the school working on text structure identification. It was really fun, they are such great students!

The focus this week will be on reading and language. Following President's Day, we'll be started a Super Hero Argumentative Essay unit, one of my favorites. This week will focus on building language and reading skills which will transfer to their writing.

Gold Gecko Day is February 12th--we will have a shortened schedule allowing a large reward party for all students who are not missing ANY work and are passing all their classes (No "U" or "NP") as a final grade. This is huge and I'd love for all my students to be able to attend. I work hard to grade quickly, so Power School is up to date. Encourage your student to check their grades and contact me with any questions. The trimester ends on Friday, February 19th.

As always, I am your partner in your student's education. Please contact me at rachel.robins@washk12.org or call 435-652-4742. Thanks so much!
