This past week we worked hard on a narrative writing assessment for the district. Papers will be scored but will not be used towards report card grades. This assessment is more for guiding and planning of the writing curriculum for the next semester. We had some Halloween fun, and we also got to go on a field trip to the Chumash Indian Museum.
This week also starts our conferences. This Friday is a minimum day, getting out at 12:58. I will be holding conferences about every 20 minutes. This is a strict schedule since I need to meet with all parents, so please come on time to your scheduled appointment. If we are unable to cover everything within that time frame we will set up another conference. Students are welcome to attend the conference. Please be sure to return the conference forms promptly so that I can be sure everyone gets a time that works for them.
Everyone should have turned in a project proposal for the Unit 2 project. I have written an OK next to the business/service that will be researched. You have a month to finish the project, but be sure not to put it off too long!
