Hey everyone!
This week has been really busy with all the testing and creating we have been doing. I just wanted to take this time to let you know that you don't always have to be perfect. It is easy to stress over tests and essays, but I have found that when you just take a couple minutes to slow down and take a deep breath it is easier to feel good about saying, "I'm finished. This is finished. I can send this out, and wait for it to come back to me when it needs to." That doesn't mean we need to just work through the motions and turn in whatever we get to. This means that once you have put the hard work into creating your essay, you can stop, let it go, and wait for Tuesday to get some of that feedback you need from your colleagues. Rough drafts are meant to be rough. You should have all your thoughts put together, structured in the best way that works for you, but you are not making it perfect. This is your chance to get your ideas out in the world, and get that oh so very important feedback. So sleep easy, worry less, and breathe full and deep. Relax. It is going to be okay. Mr. Ruth

Weekly HappeningsThis is where you can check and see a brief overview of what we have done as a class each week. My intention is to keep this up to date with happenings, assignments, trends, previews of the following week, and anything else that needs to be shared with my students and their families. I may not always get something written each week, but I will do my best to be disciplined in keeping you informed. Archives
