Writing:  Students completed their first in-class writing assignment.  Students will maintain a writing folder throughout the school year.  It will allow them to save each assignment for future analysis, and most importantly, allow them to see their improvement from week to week.

Students have no homework for the weekend.  I discussed with them that school will "really" start next week.  It will be a full week of reading, English, spelling and writing.  I have discussed with each class the importance of having a plan to "take care of business".  Please help your child determine the best way to use the agenda, arrange time for doing homework, and stay organized. 

Thanks to parents and all those adults who help students to be successful.  I appreciate your efforts.

I hope everyone has a terrific weekend!
