Fresh Start: Welcome Trimester 2!

It's a new trimester, new start and a new time to shine! Wow! What a busy week of learning about drugs, in correlation with Red Ribbon Week, and our interdisciplinary (click on link for pictures) Engineering Day where students had to find the best way to clean up oil spills. I have to admit, I'm pretty wiped out after this week:)
Really good things to come in Trimester 2. This is kind of a wrap-up-the-loose-ends week, then we'll do benchmark testing, figurative language and another class novel. Thanks for the ongoing support and thank you for your patience with all the grading at the end of the trimester!

We enjoyed having Sage Anderson, a senior at DHS and a member of the Washington County Youth Coalition, visit our classroom and present the truth behind vaping and how harmful it is for teens. She did a fantastic job and students were polite, attentive and learned a lot! I asked students to go home and share what they have learned!!

Code Phrase (for a Robins Reward): Trimester 2 is a fresh start & I'm going to be awesome!
