"Words are our most
inexhaustible source of magic."
-J.K. Rowling
Well, it’s the last week of school for 2020. I’d just like to take a second to congratulate all of my students on getting to this juncture. I know we all had our doubts, but we did it, Dragons! And, if I do say so myself, we did it well. You all brought your “A” game and a great attitude and made this rocky road worth the trip.
While we don’t know what the New Year holds, we know that we’ve got more fight in us than we originally suspected. That’s worth a lot. Starting Friday, enjoy some well-earned time off. This week, get these final assignments turned in:
With all the chaos, December arrived so quickly this school year! My Q2 grades close in just two weeks. Technically grades don’t close until the week we get back from Winter Break, but who wants to stress about assignments on vacation? My strategy is to get everything submitted so that we have a full two weeks off to decompress. We all need that so desperately this year.
That means that we have three big-point assignments due soon.
By the way, our Realistic Fiction Narratives totally rocked! It was an absolute joy to read these real and imagined stories. If you are a parent, ask your student to share their writing - you are going to be impressed. Also I’m hoping no one noticed that I forgot to post an entry last week... |
