December 5th - 9th, 2016



  • Students continue to impress me with their writing and the way they take time to brainstorm, plan, edit and revise their in class writing and any at home writing! Thank you for having conversations with your son/daughter regarding the writing they have completed in the classroom and at home. I'm so pleased to see  many students  using strong descriptive words, beautiful language, and graphic organizers in the power paragraphs we've been working on in class.
