Conferences were February 5 and 7. It was wonderful talking to so many parents! If you missed conferences, don’t worry! You can check in anytime though email. I will be happy to answer any of your questions!
In writing we started a poetry unit. Students will need to keep a writer’s notebook. They will be given 100 points (formative) for a complete notebook that is dated, titled, and includes an example or two of each type of poem. At the end of the unit, they must also turn in a poetry book with their seven best poems. This will be 100 points for a summative grade.
