In ELA you can see we are bumping up the expectation in writing. Most of the writing we got back from homework last week was very minimal, or done incorrectly. Thursday should put out a 5 paragraph essay, with the 3 main body paragraphs containing at least 4 sentences each.
Today I sent home a list for Valentine's Day cards. If you want to pass them out, then every student must be given one. If you want to pick and choose, then use the school's Valentine's grams. We are also having a fun contest for a "mailbox." Students may use whatever items to create a container for their cards. It must be school appropriate and fit on their desk without taking over all workspace. Bring containers ON Valentine's Day only. Students do not have to participate if they don't want to. Students will vote on the most creative, funniest, and most Valentine's Day Related. Email me or send me a note if you have any questions.
