3rd Quarter is Over...Finally! Tell me what you learned

Dear 8th graders.

You are one quarter away from promotion. The time is now to reflect on what you've learned, what you want to learn and what you think you might like to create.

Write me a letter. Start with Dear. Ms. Chapuis. Tell me what you learned this quarter. Tell me what you liked, what you didn't like. What you thought we would do, what we ended up doing instead. Identify the obstacles that made the work trickier than sometimes it should have been. Then think big...what do you want to do this last quarter. How will you make it happen? And finally tell me one great thing you will do in the future.

Sincerely,
Ms. Chapuis
