Week 3-2

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a peaceful Winter Break.

I came across a phrase over the holidays and I shared it with the students; "Don't stop unit you're proud". It resonated with me and I encouraged the students to keep it in mind as we look towards the end of the year and preparing for 8th grade.
