Moving forward

The fourth six weeks is coming to an end! We have accomplished so much since the beginning of this semester! Students have taken a practice STAAR benchmark, and they have completed their fourth six weeks CBA. Everyone is working really hard! We are also coming to. A close on our study of the persuasive genre. Students have created outlines on issues they have chosen to argue. Final essays are about to begin, and I am looking forward to some great arguments!

Parents, continue to encourage our students in EVERYTHING they do. Students, keep rockin it in class! We are soaring to success!
