Team Urban,
Last week we learned how to write about an opinion of a text and support it with evidence from the text. This week we will read more stories of individuals using a growth mindset to overcome challenges and use evidence to determine the theme of the story.
February 28th is the last day of the second trimester, and it will be the last day to AR. Since second trimester conferences are optional, for many, we will be hosting Student-Led conferences during March. Students will be self-reflecting upon their growth over the last two trimesters, and I know it would mean a lot to them for you to set aside a small amount of time that week to come in and watch them present their conference to you. More details on the specific date and time coming soon.
Just a friendly reminder that ILCS is a leadership school and service is something we value greatly. Your kiddo is required to complete a service project and 8 hours of service this year. The project and presentation will be due in May.
