- Writing Prompts: Thank you for having conversations with your son/daughter regarding the writing they have completed in the classroom and at home. I have included these graded writing pieces in their Friday folders. I was pleased to see so many students are using strong descriptive words, had a clear beginning, middle, and end to their writing, and took the time to edit and revise. On reading responses, we are working on including a topic sentence, supporting details from the text and including a strong conclusion. These are all strategies we are working on in class.
- Report cards will be sent home on Friday, November 18th. Please sign and return the outside envelope on Monday, November 28th.
