This week, students will wrap up their expository essays. We will focus on writing an effective conclusion and transferring skills from the ECR organizer into well-developed body paragraphs. By the end of class on Friday, all essays should be fully written.

Advanced Language Arts classes will begin an introduction to our next unit, Power of Perspectives, while Language Arts classes will start the unit Hear Me Out. Both units center around argumentative texts, where students will analyze and craft arguments to develop critical thinking and persuasive writing skills.

This week in PE we are starting pickleball. This is a great life long activity to participate in. Again if your student can not participate in PE due to injury please send a doctor's note. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
