Week 25: Get Ready to Argue...In an Essay:)

It's going to be another fun and busy week! We'll start writing our Superhero Argumentative Essay and squeeze in an Engineering Day. Whew! Hold on for the ride:)

2 weeks until 2nd trimester ends. Please keep up on your reading and assignments. If you miss a day or are behind for any reason please be proactive and check the box first, request to come in for advisory or talk to me. I am really happy to help you...just ask!

I've been SO impressed by the work my Honors LA and Science LA classes are doing as they research the Gila Monster in preparation to lobby the state of Utah to make the Gila Monster our official State Reptile! 

We've had some press...check out these articles!! Yes, my somewhat dorky comment made it in to the Salt Lake City Tribune. Enjoy and please share!!
