Well, we had an excellent first week. We spent time getting to know one another, and I was especially gratified to see students reach out to new friends and begin to form working relationships that will become the foundation of a successful semester.
This week, my English 9 students will begin our unit on Argument/Persuasion. After a grammar diagnostic on Monday, we'll start our vocabulary practice and get going on crafting arguments supported with evidence. My drama classes will begin storytelling which will incorporate character work. Advisory will explore the Habits of Heart and Mind. It should be lots of fun.
