Thank you so much to the lovely Team Legacy families that came for Student-Led Conferences! Reminder to those doing at-home conferences with their learner to please send their Hawk Time educator an email once they have successfully walked through their portfolio with you. We are so proud of the work that they have put in and hope that we can continue to hold the bar high for our learners! Here are the course updates as we continue working through quarter 3: ELA: Students will be working through body paragraphs for argumentative essays.

They will also begin working on writing and refuting counterclaims. Students will practice refuting using given topics and sentence starters. ...
