February 27 - March 2

2 pieces of writing have gone home, a "how-to" and a descriptive report.  These have been marked with comments to help your student move along in their writing.  Please send these pieces back signed once you've had a chance to look them over, as we need to keep student work on file.

A progress report went home a couple of weeks ago, but several students have not yet returned theirs.  If you have the report or have seen it, please return it or a note that you have seen it as soon as possible.


LA - we have been working on writing about characters.  Students need to finish up the 2 paragraphs about their characters - one comes right out and tells us about them, the other tells us 3 things about them without saying "he is tall", for example, "he ducked coming through the doorway to avoid hitting his head".  Due Wednesday.
