Week 15 Update and Schedule

It's been a busy week of writing but I am thrilled to see students pushing themselves to become better writers.  However, I am concerned about students already falling behind.  It really throws things off if they are not prepared for editing on the day the rest of the class is peer editing.  We are doing everything on Google Drive so they can work at home or they can always come in before or after school.  Please encourage your student to work hard to be on time.

As always, please contact me at rachel.robins@washk12.org or 435-652-4742 if you have any questions or concerns.  Thank you for your support, I'm looking forward to a fantastic trimester and I really love every day that I spend with these amazing 7th graders!
