Hello! I hope you all had the chance to enjoy the amazing weather this weekend! I cannot believe we are in the third to last week already!

Here is what's happening this week:

Writing: I am so impressed by the work they have completed on their literary essays already! These essays take a lot of deep thinking, and they have stepped up to the plate. We will start bringing the essays to a close this week. Next week we will focus on editing and publishing. Their essays will be due May 14.
