October 31st-November 4th: Halloween, ACES writing and End Of Trimester!

I have really enjoyed this past week grading Lierature Circle assignments. There are some amazing artists in my classes.  I appreciate those students who have been working so very hard to get all caught-up in preparation for the end-of-the trimester. 

Halloween Guidelines: Yes, dress-up if you'd like to! Costumes need to be school-appropriate
*follows dress code
*NOT violent/gruesome
*NO excessive make-up
*NO masks, and 
*NO eye-altering costume contacts. 

Friday, November 4th is the end of the trimester.  Please see the schedule and deadlines below. 

In preparation for essays, we will be learning ACES paragraphs that will eventually become the anchoring body paragraphs of essays. There are tricks to writing well, and it will be exciting to simplify the process for students and give them lifelong skills.

Thanks for a great first trimester, let's finish strong and work hard! Please contact me at jandi.gubler@washk12.org with any questions.
