What Happened?

Wow! Where did the last month go?!?! It has been a busy time, from Student-Led Conferences to the beginning of Weekly Workshops. October is nearly at its end and will culminate in a most exciting Halloween even this Wednesday.

Teachers and students are encouraged to dress in costume and participate in the costume contest! I'm offering extra credit to my students who dress as a character from a book. I'll be playing along too, of course!

Our packet has been focused on the four types of writing that could be on the CST (only ONE essay will be given for the CST)- Persuasive, Narrative, Summary, or Response to Literature. Students will be writing a summary, revising, editing, and turning it in with the Writing Packet.

The LAST day to take an AR quiz for the first trimester will be on November 2, NEXT FRIDAY. Get 'er done, kids!
