Week 37 Update and Schedule

It's been a great week full of literature in Language Arts! 1st period is doing Literature Circles and the rest of my classes are reading "Esperanza Rising".  We will be doing Close Reading this week and talking more about specific literary elements.

Even though school will soon be at an end, it's important students attend school and fully participate.  My focus now is on getting them ready for middle school and really enjoying the time we have left.

The last Book Order of the year will be placed this Friday.  I had it for last Friday but forgot to hand out book orders.  This is an inexpensive way to build your home library and keep students reading over the summer.

I appreciate the continual support I receive from parents/guardians.  I so enjoy teaching this class! As always, please contact me at 435-652-4742 or rachel.robins@washk12.org with any questions.
